Archive Description

The "People's Quad Core." In 2008, having four cores was a luxury. The Q8200 brought that luxury down to a price point that normal humans could afford.

It lacks virtualization support and has a low multiplier, making it a poor overclocker, but it was the chip that introduced millions of users to the joy of rendering a video while browsing the web without the computer freezing. It was the entry ticket to the multi-core future.
