Intel i486 Commercial

[smithlee07]

I tried to run Call of Duty MW 3 on it last year. Its still loading. I think i will be able to play it by next christmas

[giovanni12494]

inatél lá computer--insaide kkkkk

[Inarhos]

у меня на нем DOOM летал в свое время!)))

[NFSVIDEOCHANNEL]

Wow nice

[Jerkwad152]

@necrocoprophilia

You're right about hyperthreading. The Pentium 4 had that too and the Athlon XP(and in some cases the Pentium 3) spanked it at every turn. :D

[decimat777]

Actually the electrical signals in computers these days run just about at the speed of light so they weren't too far off from that description.

[wc4pwned]

light speed for DOS

[ketchupmanor]

It runs on light speed, if light speed was 100 Mhz.....

[octubre1987]

@ketchupmanor yeah, especially because light speed is "speed", and 100 MHz is "frequency" ¬¬

[WXIIIR]

@octubre1987 i wonder why Mhz are relevant to any CPU then... (just being ironic because i know. google for ''electromagnetic waves'', ''logic signals'', "transistors" and "clock speed" and maybe you'll learn something about why is Mhz important for measuring processing speed. by the way, almost any unit can be used as a "speed for, or, on relation to, something" unit)

[Jerkwad152]

The 486 was kickass when it was brand-new. Now it's ancient and the i7 is kickass. In twenty more years, the i7 will be ancient.

[Banquo2]

Processor speeds stay relatively the same as operating systems and software become more bloated.

[linuxuser432]

wut about core i7?

[dentunes]

You could run "Reversi" at light speed

[I3331934]

..it says you've got a real power source inside.. not one of those fake Styrofoam ones..

[sprucharchiv]

Intel inside is the most often used warning label all around the world =)

[cacingworem]

i786 better lolz

[OK2BCK]

386 and 486 era was exciting.

[siddyatomica]

Great ad still.

[danwat1234]

Hmmm, no wonder it created a worm hole. No heatsink.

[Nvidiaguides]

and run your software... ...at light speed! HOLY SHIT, 25MHZ!!

Now I ONLY have to wait 2 weeks for it to export a 1:20 long HD video!

AMAZING!

[PATRIENIX]

This processor can run Crysis at 3FPY (frames per year)

[kevinwinstonshen]

This commercial brings back to me many nostalgic feelings.

[dillmc7743]

Microchip my ass

[JesusManson323]

I want this! Can't wait.

You guys can have your i7...suckers!

[nuclearbigdaddy]

micro prosessor? i have one of these they are huge

[1015287]

Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition Gulftown 3.33GHz 6 x 256KB L2 Cache 12MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor is god compared to this

[marzsc]

lol that was my first CPU!

[PlaSnake]

@marzsc mine was the dx version

[nuclearbigdaddy]

i have a i486 sx

[elgavilan2000]

I found one of those in a very old computer once...i glued it to a wooden stick and now its a backscratcher

[AmazingDX]

Nobody cares about the heat dissipator? B(

[234jari234]

IF we can go back in time give them the Intel i7-980 6x 3333Mhz

[mixed123456]

reply to @SMGjohn

yea cuz if blow up are cheap to replace lol

[SMGJohn]

Fuck Intel, AMD is used by military!

[gta1172]

lol i went up to my uncles today he gave about 10 intel i486 processors plus a ibm and old amd processor

[80stvfan09]

NASA still uses 486s. they're the only CPUs that can survive re-entry lol

[MREURONCAP]

Yes, NASA still uses the 486, and THE 386!!!!!!!! Incredible, no? Why not Install an i7 on the Hubble? =) hahah

[Dant2142]

@MREURONCAP Because old CPUs are rock solid in extreme conditions, an i7 would commit suicide as soon as it was loaded into a shuttle, lol

[MREURONCAP]

@Dant2142 yeah, sad true. Are the Oldies the Best? #LOL hahaha

[mangie222]

my dad has one of these as a paper weight lol

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

How many FPS would I get with this on Crysis? Please reply quickly please. I am thinking of buying a PC with this processor. It's kinda expensive but definitely worth it. How does it run Windows 95? Thanks!

[I3331934]

@SpyWhoLovedHimself umm, im thinkin it would do a regular 30-40fps at a reasonable resolution and perhaps medium quality if you overclock the living daylight out of it and sort or "cram" a 9800GTS in the ISA slot. i'd say its definitely worth it, unless you could go for a core 2 extreme and GTX275, but hey, pentiums always good!

[I3331934]

i486 Rather lol

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

@I3331934

Thanks, I am hoping to get a Trident TVGA 8900D, it'll cost me a good 500 quid but it's cutting edge technology and I heard it can even run Doom at 30 fps!

[nipperoid]

@SpyWhoLovedHimself i had the TVGA 9000 512kb a few years back!

[GaryH315223]

Um. go for the i7. lol

[soijiro666]

of what year was this?

[ashthepokemonmaster]

OMG!! i 486 can hardly handle windows 95!!!!

i know because i got one that runs windows 95 and its as slow as f$%k!!

[cacingworem]

@ashthepokemonmaster you must try Windows 3.1 LOL

[ashthepokemonmaster]

i did i HATE it lol

[nipperoid]

@ashthepokemonmaster my 486 dx 33 ran windows 98 pretty quickly :/

[WXIIIR]

@ashthepokemonmaster maybe it's full of crap because i have one with windows 95 and the thing can surf the web and open stuff rather quickly even nowadays

[mmarti944]

OMG!

I love this video!

[bcrscahh198987]

Holy damn, this video is retro.

[HatlabuFarkas]

i hear from year 2200 : "This old shit Pentium 12" ... Now u says this old shit 486 :D

[ComputerTutorialPro]

Why people didn't used that cool graphics in the movies (like in this commerical) for games? I know that in that time were slow and stupid things, but then how did they create that graphics for movies if on games wasn't possible?

[starsiegeplayer]

You could do it for movies for two reasons. One: people who make movies and commercials had lots of money to buy extremely expensive computers (we are talking WAAAY out of the game budget). Two: the rendering isn't real time, like in a game. Only years later has technology advanced so greatly that real time rendering on cheap commodity hardware surpasses these old professional renders.

[ufee]

It's called prerendering.

[devildad1620]

CGI like that would have taken several minutes to render each frame on a single i486 like that. Back then CGI was rendered on a cluster of PC servers. There were better computers for this then PC's at the time. Some of them used RISC based processors. There was Amiga, Silicon Graphics and a lot of Macs were used. Realtime rendering of hollywood CGI was not possible on any system I know of in 1989.

[1800Supreme]

iiam not sure if i know what your saying but the thing is that movie graphics are pre-rendered well for games you need to render the graphics on the spot when you play and that takes a lot of GPU processing but so do movies but movies have all the time they need to render and save the info

[iloveoldschool]

@ComputerTutorialPro The consoles didn't have the gpu's necessary for this kind of thing. Except maybe the Sega CD... lol

[evelutionz]

if that was light speed, wow whats I7

[starsiegeplayer]

Warp Speed?

[DevilDog016]

Warp Speed? This is the computer that did the boot-up run in less than 12 minutes!

[silicon212]

Ludicrous speed.

[goqwertygo]

@evelutionz LUDICROUS SPEED :D

[TheOneToxic]

@evelutionz

I7 is warp speed ;)

[WTFisJamieUp2]

@evelutionz ludicrus speed (space balls)

[SFseis]

@evelutionz ridiculous speed ;-)

[systemsfailed]

@evelutionz

Overpriced bullshit?

[thebloxxeronroblox]

@evelutionz Cosmos destroying speed?

[bacovia2004]

@evelutionz Nuclear detonation speed.

[smurf6340]

@evelutionz its like 25 mhz

[almann1117]

@smurf6340 No... it's anywhere from 16mhz to 100mhz

[almann1117]

@evelutionz MEGALIGHTSPEED, DUH!

lolz

[mattfeige]

I'm still using an 80386-SX for my old DOS-Games :-)

[chucknorris687]

I heard people still use these for making home routers for networking and stuff, never seen a working one yet.

[wantomek]

My dad uses one, with win 3.1 and office 6.0 :)

[steavedaver]

wow this must be fast in the bios lmao!

[oc5nsli341nforce4]

I had that board once, it fried. Got several working 486 cpus around.

[surferstapleton]

my friends got old pentiums that say 1989, im guessing its one of theses.

[wantomek]

pentium wasn't around yet in 89... /:)

i don't even know if these were...

[surferstapleton]

i just assumed they were all pentiums, there were others that were 1992, could they be pentiums?

[wantomek]

the first pentium processors appeared in 94' so I guess those have to be 486 or 386 ones you are talking about.

[Drudicta]

386 and 486 werent Pentium. Believe it or not Pentium was released as a 2nd gen processor. 90% of people couldnt even purchase the 386 and 486 , either because it was so expensive , or because no one would sell them.

[Kilen81]

Cyrix Perhaps, and ofcourse AMD were there 1992. but they were pretty far behind then.

[Riddle81]

No, the pentium processors were first released in 1993 I think before them there were 386 and 486 and before those two there were 286 processors

[silicon212]

The 486 was released in 1989.

[thlogger]

lol my computer is god compared tot this lol its like dual core 3.0 ghz

[Krisisb0b]

guessing the e8400? if thats god then my i7 is gods god

[nutzy73]

the new and incredible fast 33mhz processor ! the fastest in the world ! good old times.. i was really happy when i played mario on my pc .

[nutzy73]

yeah, it wasn't super mario bros but a kind of... now i play super mario bros on my phone and on my psp lol

[xserd]

this was my 1st pc.. it took 5 minutes to open ms word 97..

[Gameboykd]

ROTFLMBO!!!!

[Dukiiiii]

Hmm, looks like the processor isn't even in the socket, lol (correct me if i'm wrong)

[jakeharvey]

That is probably supposed to be the 487 coprocessor socket, which would have been empty on a new machine.

[dasobst]

Yes, that is the co-processor socket. I had an IBM PS/1 Consultant 2155-24M that had a PODP socket. 83Mhz Pentium OverDrive CPU FTW. Execept the ones that had the "divide-by-zero" ailment =P

[inclusivedisjunction]

How the hell is that computer even running? One of the AT power connectors is off!

[Joseph9536]

How did you notice that?

[inclusivedisjunction]

I'm a nerd. i pay attention to all the wrong things.

[jimmy101112000]

Since when did this pc needed the AT power connected when it has Tesla coils for power?

I noticed that too. The old saying was with those connectors was  BLACK TO BLACK.

[MrModulator]

And by the way, I think this must be earlier than 1993. The 33 Mhz 486 was released in 1990(slower models in 1989). The 66 Mhz dx2 was released in the summer of 1992 and the pentium in 1993. Why would they make this commercial about a cpu that is as powerful as they say in it, and not use some of the other much faster cpu;S that was available at the time, if it was 93? Probably from 91 or 92. Maybe even as early as 90,when it was released.

[MrModulator]

The 486 was probably the biggest advancement made in intel history! Integrated FPU, on-die cache, improved handling of instructions and much more.

It was ahead of it's time, win 3.1 ran lightingly fast on it and win 95 ran really good with enough of ram installed.

For a long time the 66 Mhz 486 was the minimum requirement for playing fps-games until 3d-cards took over in 97. Not bad for a 5 year old cpu, where all 3d is handled by the cpu. Which graphics card from 2003 can do that today?

[soldersucker]

This is not from 1989. Its from 1993.

[solidsnake1211]

Isn't That The New Intel Logo?

[pacornerpolska]

Those were the days! My first PC was a 486SX/25 with 4mb. When we upgraded to a DX/66 and 8mb (4mb cost more than some laptops do now!) we were in awe. I remember playing C&C on these things. Multiplayer was the best - I had lug my tower and a 14" monitor that weighed more than I did to a friend's house and fiddle around with a null modem for 2 player action... kids today with their X-Box, they're so spoiled!

[sekiddy]

This wasn't done in 1989. Maybe 1993 or 1994. Sure, the 486 chip was announced in 89, but if you google historical prices it wasn't affordable (and the big name clone manufacturers didn't build systems around it) until the Pentium came out. Took the Pentium another 18-24 months to drop far enough in price to where small businesses and home users could justify buying one.

[rigurat]

It has 2 Soviet tesla coils next to it.

[thomas007]

ROFL thats what i was thinking!

[AmnAbdulla9]

P.S. I don't even know what type of processor is inside this thing.

[AmnAbdulla9]

lol! My first PC at the time was I don't know what I might call it was given to me by my dad. It really had washed out colors but it can read CDs just fine.

[MDEMONIC689]

In 20 years time a cpu will be 128k core i believe, i think thats the direction.

128k core being a 128,000 cores (probably running at 20ghz each, compared to todays measely 2/4 core.

So yes, in another 20 yrs todays computers will look like ZX spectrum.

[WXIIIR]

@MDEMONIC689 20ghz each? only if they stop making them out of bipolar silicon junctions.

[langsetboer1]

OOooOO I found one of these at school yesterday, it was 33Mhz :o

[PRODVDi]

wtf CPU has no cooling and can do your software at lightspeed O_O". I think I have a 486 with a heat sink stuck to it

[Freezer7Pro]

I still have an old PS/2 with an i286 here.

[XmegaPresident]

If your willing to sell it I would be interested! I have a IBM ps/2 80386SX/16MHz and I have been looking for a 286 for some time now.

[Freezer7Pro]

Maybe. I'm not 100% sure that it's a 286, but it should be. I can check tomorrow. I also don't have the scren/keyboard/mouse etc that came along.

[jeshonias]

486 isnt totally useless. i use one as a midi sequencer.

[intelinside1990]

At lightspeed... wow!

[rorymarsh]

funny really, because in 15 years time we'll be watching the Core 2 adverts (probably still on youtube) and laughing at how ridicolously slow they are!

[NFRANGA]

I remember running a machine at my school in a computer class a year ago with a 486 processor, 16MB RAM, and Windows 95... I was amazed to see Windows 95 run quickly

[MKUltraProject]

i had a 186 and progressed through to the 486 then onto pentium computers

[111olbap]

No such CPU exists. I believe you are reffering to the XT x86 cpu

[bhtooefr]

Actually, the 80186 does exist.

It wasn't used by IBM, and had some issues that made it somewhat difficult to use on the IBM PC architecture, but some clone manufacturers used it anyway.

[steeviebops]

The PBX (telephone switchboard thingy) in my job has an 80186 inside it, albeit an AMD clone of one.

[silicon212]

The 186 was essentially a computer on a chip, it was the 8086 with core logic in the same package. It was mainly used in imbedded applications, almost never in a PC.

[bhtooefr]

It was hardly an SoC, but it did move more functionality onto the chip.

Various PC-compatible ASICs were designed around the 80186 design, though - if you're designing the stuff that goes around the chip, you can remove the incompatible parts, and leave the good parts.

[benzman69]

486 now it's good as a door stop.

[C1audia975]

It is too bulky for a door stop, a wooden door stop wedge is more useful and takes up less space :)

[Rusty0918B]

This was actually a fun commercial to watch, although the machine I'm using to type this message most CERTAINLY has less circuitry components than the one seen in the commercial.

This was made either in 1992 or 1993. I remember Intel advertising their 486 stuff in those years.

[LosBee]

I remember wanting a 486 but I had to make do with a 386. I didnt have £1400 for a "multimedia" 486 as a student! LOL

[siemens1990]

ufff... too old.

[al3xandrul]

cheeeeziii

[GriggiWurm]

lol - Ich finds witzig

[AndrewPasquale]

thats so EPIC!

[Eddyiskoo]

LMAO I Have One Of Those On My Old Computer They Suck Compared To These Modern Day CPU's lol.
