Socket 775 Pentium 4 vs AM2 Athlon 64. That bloodbath had been brewing since 2004; Socket 939 Athlon 64s had been battering Socket 478 Pentium 4s all year, then when the move to Socket 775 proved to be utter garbage the new Athlon 64s just took off.What happened in Q4 2005?
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-vs-intel-highest-overall-x86-chip-market-share
AMD Desktop Unit Market Share 2Q 2020 = 19.2%
AMD Mobile Unit Market Share 2Q 2020 = 19.9%
AMD Server Unit Market Share 2Q 2020 = 5.8%
AMD's overall desktop market share is still relatively low, increasing very slowly.
In the mobile space, AMD's lineup gains much faster thanks to the best Zen 2 APUs.
Crappy netburst P4 vs Athlon64. Unfortunately 2006 C2D arrived and even i a staunch AMD man since the K5 tried its best got an E6600, retiring my venerable Winchester 3200+ and Opteron 165 to light duty other stuff. To be fair i thought the years in between would've been worse as i built the odd Bulldozer system for people who just wanted a lot of cores and was not impressed.What happened in Q4 2005?

But then Core 2 showed up...as well as Intel's bribery of Dell.

My first ever self build was an Athlon 64 I believe before moving to a Core 2 Duo E8600. That lasted till i went to my i5 2500k which lasted for a long time till I upgraded last to my
7700k. I mostly play older 'esports' titles like csgo etc so many cores/threads just hasnt been necessary for me.
After building my 7700k/GTX1080 build I kind of fell of the components scene. Finally come back as the 3080 generational performance increase seems very appetising. Catching up with 3-4yrs of news and I was surprised how much AMD is being touted everywhere even though I still see Intel cpus topping FPS benchmarks!?
I when 3.2GHz Prescott on Socket 478 because I didn't know any better. My Pentium II and Pentium III EB (133MHz RAM, yo!) were solid systems and my gf's Cyrix was *******, so I just went with what I knew without my research. I only regret it now because I'm much more knowledgeable and look back on what I could've had with the Athlon 64s. But for her full life, Akasha served me very well.Who bought a pentium 4 and not an athlon 64 because they had 3ghz and up? Me
The Northwood on socket 478 wasn't too hot at 3.2GHz, but Intel just naffed up Prescott big time. No joke, I recently found out I didn't use thermal paste on my cooler and always just passed off the 63 degree idle temp as "well, it's a Prescott, they run hot". 10 years of service with a 200MHz OC and it didn't melt. Miracle.I remember those days Pentium 4 Prescott wasn't it? Hotter than a nuclear reactor I bought a AMD 64 3400+ I think it was instead, very nice. Shocking to think that was my last AMD chip until the 3900X I'd had Athlon XP's and Durons before that
