Moderator Heads-up: Intel Pentium 2 200Mhz and 233Mhz (Deschutes) to be removed from HWBOT!

[Christian Ney]

As those processors don't exist, the categories and submissions in those categories will be removed from HWBOT.

 

http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/pentium_2_200mhz/

http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/pentium_2_233mhz_deschutes/

 

All submissions will be hard deleted.

 

Thanks for your understanding and PM Massman if you want to complain

233: http://ark.intel.com/products/49935/Intel-Pentium-II-Processor-233-MHz-512K-Cache-66-MHz-FSB

 

?

[Christian Ney]

Yes but not Deschutes core

[Antinomy]

Great news!

 

You're one of those who still do their job, nice to look at the results.

[Mr.Scott]

Thank you gentlemen for taking care of this.

[Turrican]

i wonder who added those categories back in the day. i would have never added something like that.

[Massman]

Bwanasoft and Saucy were previous hardware database managers.

[Antinomy]

Oh, I remember the first one having hardware even more "fun" than this

 

Still have some of his masterpieces saved on my disk.

[knopflerbruce]

Just wait... I'll find one of thes, I swear

[Antinomy]

Like I said before - I've seen CPUs (and have a number of them) that do exists, are mentioned on hardware sites but are not listed on HWBot. But I've never seen a CPU that is presented on HWBot but not listed anywhere else in the Net.

 

So c'mon and paint it black, Bruce

[Massman]

You can always add support tickets if hardware is not yet in the database .

[Christian Ney]

Ho he already did a lot dont worry about that

[Turrican]

Ho he already did a lot dont worry about that

 

yeah.

[Massman]

Cool!

[Antinomy]

And I'll do more

 

THX guys. Very nice to have you around. All of you.

 

Like I said to Christian before - the best way to validate that a result is in the right category for Pre-K8 AMD and Pre-370 Intel would be a photo. There's no way to verify a CPU 100% by software.

A photo doesn't really prove anything about the result either, though. I guess in those categories we should just assume overclockers respect each other enough not to use different chips.

 

Thanks for helping out!

[Antinomy]

A photo doesn't prove, yes. But it confirms two things - first the CPU does exist and it's not a CPU-Z bug. And second - the user does have this CPU. For example, a Pentium Pro 133MHz does exist but for some users that were caught before I'd rather believe they emulated it than that they have this rare ES. Same goes for Pentium 1 vs Pentium 1 Mobile (CPU-Z isn't able to tell them apart http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=404891 ). User may assume that he has a mobile part because it's installed in a notebook (so he isn't trying to fiddle with the rules). But a photo might show that he has a desktop part in a notebook and the category was chosen wrong.

 

I'd help out more but for the last years I was stopped by staffs ignorance. Until Ney came to the team and things started again.
