Taking a Trip Through 31 Years of CPUs
Techgage News —
I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that sometimes, it's a bit easy to take things for granted, when in reality, things are amazing. Take flying, for example. It's an incredible feat to raise someone off the ground and fly them from one location to the next, but nowadays, it's about as typical as hopping on a bus. Then there's CPUs, and computers in general. Even just 10 years ago, things were so modest compared to today, so sometimes, it's good to take a look at where we've been, to truly appreciate where we are now.
I remember when the first 1GHz processor came out... it was mind-blowing just to picture the amount of performance available. Nowadays, we're almost ...

History of the x86 processor in a nutshell
DV Hardware —
MaximumPC provides a brief history of x86 processor, you can check it out over here. It all started 31 years ago with the launch of the Intel 8086 processor:
In the beginning, Intel created the 8086 and its first 16-bit microprocessor.
And Intel said, Let there be x86: and there was x86.
And Intel saw the x86, that it was good.
No, we're not about to anoint Intel as a deity, but the gargantuan chip maker did give birth to the x86 processor. More than 30 years later, or roughly 3,000 calendar years in computer time, x86 continues to evolve (see how easy it is for creationism and evolution to co-exist?) from its modest start in 1978. ...
