Processor Charts

Does anyone know where to download a fairly up to date chart for processor order and speeds ?

Also how do you tell the age of a computer ??? Looked all over no dates on computer tags.rolleyes

Is that what you meant? If its a pre built computer with a model number you can check the manufacturers website for the date it was manufactured,alternatively if you type system information in the program search box in the details it will tell you the date windows was installed.

 

If it's a windows 7 PC you may not have this line 'mine doesn't'

Type cmd in the search box and hit return, in the command prompt type

systeminfo

And press return,about 10 lines down is the original installation date,this will work with older computers to if you can't find the line in the system information tool.

 

Thanks but that's not quite it.

I repair computers as a hobby business. I have a chart that shows the Processor (Celeron, PIII, P 4 etc) and behind it it would show number of transistor , CPU speed standard RAM cache, and Bus speed. It was great when I had questions... Unfortunately it only went up to Pentium 4.
Cannot find anything like it.

While at a flea market someone asked me when the computer was made... looked all over for a manufacturing date none

 

Do you want a program that identifies a cpu then?

I like to use Sandra lite.

It has all the information in the cpu information test,the only thing it doesn't have is transistor count,I don't know of a chart that compares the transistor count of all CPU's ever in production,there's a small one on wikipedia with a broad sample.

Thanks one of the reference took me to another page. Then I got the following link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Intel_processors
Now age of the computer ??? I've reprogrammed them so BIOS means nothing

 

I have no idea what your talking about:-D And it was no problem

 

Info I was after as far as processors was at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Intel_processors

Still trying to figure out how to tell the age of the computer when it has already been reprogrammed and updated (which reprogramming would change original BIOS date).

 

I see,well another alternative which doesn't involved turning the computer on or taking the cpu heatsink off is to check the motherboard model/service number at the manufacturers website.

Intel has a cpu chart also,is this the chart you meant?

Found this at wiki for AMD,you have to click the cpu model type though to see the date.

As far as I can see AMD doesn't have a chart with a list of dates at their site.

 

Thanks... that should help
