Last Intel desktop CPU that I bought was Pentium 133Mhz. It was also my first PC. Never again ratio of performance to price in my preferred price range favored Intel.

my first Intel was a 286 (DX2-66), and I just did a double-take reading this article when I saw “the Intel 285K CPU”

ah if only they had incremented that number by one… a new 286 even just in name would be sooo funny… not as funny as bringing back the number 8088 of course

You skipped the whole Bulldozer generation?

		I've never bought server CPUs. I think I had some Athlon along the way. Some K6, I think. I don't remember all of them. Now I have some Ryzen. For the next build I'm finally eyeing server grade processor and of course it's going to be a Threadripper.
