When was the last time it was realistic to see a single core CPU, outside of a phone at least? A 65 nm Sempron from 2009-10? Even that is stretching it. I mean the parts existed but I'm pretty sure I've never seen a Sempron past the Athlon XP era, maybe early on in the Athlon64 era, before the Core 2. On the Intel side I think the Core 2 Solo and Conroe-L Celerons from 2007 were their last single core parts, and I think both of these were basically netbook exclusives.
rad
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 I'd say that since the introduction of Intel's Core architecture, it's not common to see single-core CPUs in computers. Give it a bit of leeway and I'd say 2006/2007 is the time where they stopped being common?

Back in 2001 I've bought a dual CPU system (MSI 694D Pro Dual Socket-370 Apollo Pro133A ATX, 2* Pentium III 800MHz), which was an absolute beast at the time. I was running Multiple Game Servers at a LAN-Event, listening to Winamp while gaming Counter Strike at perfect framerates. PC just didn't want to slow down a bit.
Wow, How did I possibly not know about this motherboard, back then I used MSI almost exclusively *Except* for my ABit BP6 (Dual 370 system using 500mhz Celerons) and slightly later an ABit VP6 using two 1ghz Pentium III's. The speed was insane, as long as you used Windows 2000 as 98/ME [BSD also, but not Linux] didn't support SMP. I'm pretty positive most the speed gain was from most software only capable of using one CPU at a time, occasional software lockups that would become transparent, and similarly not having to distribute the cpu's resources across twice as many processes/threads/whatever. The machines truly seemed 10x or faster in many cases.

I always cram two CPU's in my motherboard whether it likes it or not... Sometimes more.

Sounds like a challenge to me.
The main benefit of two CPUs is the increased RAM that you can install, as well as potentially more PCIe lanes depending on the chipset.
What would be cool with 2 CPUs is to be able to choose what CPU a program uses I.e run a game that can't use many cores on your better low core CPU and have a high core count CPU for work that can use lots of cores
thats basically what intel ended up doing with their p core e core cpus, except on a single cpu die.
I think that was one of the few benefits gamer actually had.
Run the OS and most stuff on the multi core CPU that clocked 2 to 3 GHz (CPU slot 1).
and on CPU slot 2 Run a singel core 4+GHz CPU for games that could only use one core example Dwarf fortress.
Just duct tape the second CPU to the one you're actually using and use it as a heat sink.

@@fastestmane7324 Here's the song: czcams.com/video/YnopHCL1Jk8/video.html
It's also called the "numa numa song" because of the chorus.
NUMA in computing stands for Non-Uniform Memory Access. Due to the nature of multiple CPU architectures, typically each CPU has its own memory bank, and there is a substantially latency hit when accessing memory locations that are physially located on the other CPU's memory bank (typically accessed via some bus or crossbar).
I think that might be the most obscure reference I have ever seen
Many arcadeboards used dual cpus and that scaled really well on Segas arcade for example (no pun intended since they were the masters of 2d scaling sprites). sega genesis used 2 cpus, where one of the cpus was in charge of the music.. the ps2 used a ps1 cpu also for handling io and backwards compability.. list goes on. if you dont make software to take advantage of extra cpus, you will not see great benefit.

I remember in the days of single core cpus - a dual cpu system was my dream. SMP 🤤
My first dual processor machine was a pentium pro, this goes wayyyyyyy back as the man says. One of the main advantages of multi cpu systems in older servers is that each cpu has it's own memory management, so more CPUs = more memory. Some particularly big, expensive and fully optioned servers had insane amounts of memory.
This could help in laptops, a 5-10W CPU for normal processes and a high power CPU + dGPU for heavy processes. It'll help conserve power during normal usage while ensuring power when needed
I have fond memories of my dual celeron pc back in the late 90's at HP research labs...Used to run Windows NT to make use of the dual CPUs ....AHH the good 'slow' old days.
The slow days that somehow were faster. Modern software is bloat.
i used dual pentium pros back in the day with Windows NT. that was a great computer. could even game on it lol :)
Simple answer: The Windows scheduler can only barely handle existing single socket Threadripper platforms as it is.
Not a good answer... there are other operating systems out there that have run on multiple CPUs for decades. Windows ran fine on multi CPU machines, but only if software was written well enough to take advantage.
The real simple answer is that programs often share memory space and memory can only be written to by one core/CPU at a time. This is why hyperthreading programs is *really* hard as the split process *cannot* write to memory used by the main loop of the program. So generally hyperthreading is programmed as single purpose tasks that perform one thing and then nothing else.
And having two Threadripper sockets would require a MASSIVE motherboard, not just to fit the sockets, but also to take full advantage of the PCI-E lanes.
@@rez-theruneman It's time to have PCIE x32 speed slots because why not as well
@@FMHikari The day that becomes a thing will be exciting.
i've been running a dual cpu setup for a few years now (asus z8na-d6, dual xeon x5675) and it handles anything i throw at it. i was aware that it wouldnt double my performance, but the whole point of the build was to play new games at a price comparable to a new games console.
I was literally wondering about this yesterday when I was googling how supercomputers work. They have tons of individual cpu's so why not us?
The diminishing returns is a much greater problem for Windows compared to other O/S such as Solaris.
Sun had SPARC processors with 128 threads per CPU in the late 00's
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraSPARC_T1
Today, the M8 has 256 threads per cpu and the T8-4 system has 4 SPARC M8 processors for 1024 threads.
Solaris scaled far better than Windows when it came to multiple threads.
Floating point performance wasn't as good. But moving large amounts of data, processing big datasets etc was short work for SPARC based machines.
Today, Sun/Oracle do the same work with connected servers running XEON processors. Provides some cost savings as well as multiple systems running so the loss of any one system has a far smaller impact compared to one large instance going down.
1U servers running Oracle Enterprise Linux with 1.5TB of RAM to do database "stuff."
They have special very high capacity inter-processor communication channels.
You forgot about the Abit BP6, paired with two Celeron 366's overclocked to 550+? One of the best cost-to-performance deals in history.

I've thought about getting a dual socket board to make my own "bigLITTLE" style architecture. One socket with as many cores as possible and the other with as high a clock speed as possible
Dual socket motherboards generally don't support having different CPU models installed.
Sounds like what Intel is trying to do with their next generation hybrid mobile chips
Unless you're extremely well versed in programming x86 and can modify not only the OS but the BIOS to make it functional, that won't work. They all require matched CPUs.
@referral madness It wouldn't bottleneck, but as the other guy said, if he could modify the OS and BIOS, it would perfectly
a computer with a CPU and GPU pretty much is a large scale bigLITTLE
I built a system around the Asus L1N64-SLI board when that came out, having 4 CPU cores was just amazing to brag about, not that much I did ever made use of them that is.
That board is framed on my wall now, along with a few of the more interesting boards I've had over the years.
yeah these videos are stacked right, honestly reviewed by the team are Great.
There is a benefit in having dedicated sockets for your CPUs:
Especially Threadripper suffers from its design. They put 8 dies on one package that then has to share all its memory bandwidth. In a multiple socket build each CPU gets their own dedicated memory and bandwidth. In a threadripper 3990X 16 cores share one memory channel. If you had two 32 core systems or 4 16 core systems with 4 channels each you could get way more performance in tasks that don't require shared memory like virtualisation.
And this goes back to at least Westmere. Back in the day, one of the awesome things that the Dell Precision T5500 had in it was the second CPU riser functionally made the system parallel triple channel memory, so you could get some absolutely absurd memory bandwidth for the time (like ~60GB/s theoretical or something) to pair with the then-ludicrously-powerful X5680 and X5690.
@@NextMerckx Yep, lol I still like to think the X5690 is ludicrously powerful even at $200 for a pair. My Mac Pro 5,1 and R610 Server does more than keep up.. even a decade later!
This is why a database server we bought around 2015 was equipped with two 12/24 Xeons. For database servers, memory bandwidth is a real bottleneck (we saturated two fiber channel links when running queries to give an idea of the amount of data we were sorting, and we had nearly 1TB in memory)
This is why solutions like AMD's 3D-Cache will become more and more a "need" outside of gaming, like in Database Servers.

I had a moment of pure nostalgia when he mentioned the AMD Quad FX. I opted into the system in a weird sense of future proofing myself into a future 8 core system. The first FX-70 CPUs were supposed to be placeholders for the eventual Phenom-style chips with 4 cores each for one of the earliest 8 core setups available...but the FX line was cancelled and I was left with an existing system with a dead end architecture, and a cooling fan setup that reminded me of a passenger jet spooling up on the runway to take off. I think I learned a lesson from that...trying for bleeding edge runs the risk of getting cut, in more then one sense of the term.

An important fact from my side :
Computers with 1 CPU perform multiprogramming, that means, only one program can run on the processor at any instant.
Computers with multiple CPUs perform both multiprogramming and multiprocessing (multiprocessing means multiple programs run simultaneously at any instant, on the different processors).
It would be interesting to see if older dual CPU efforts could possibly be affordable and practical or just in general perform well for todays standards.
Maybe thats an LTT video.

@@natevelar that may be true for some scenarios like gaming and basic use like word processing, but it's ignorant to say that it's useless to have multiple CPUs.

Ah, the memories of my first build ever, a dual Pentium III 1 Ghz system on an Abit VP6 motherboard... Such a rugged system, so much raw power, and I was able to make use of it then when I was doing graphic design work with Adobe or when playing Quake 3 instagib (/com_maxfps 0, /smp 1). Hell, I could play the game on one CPU and run a dedicated server on the other, and I DID one day just for fun! One huge advantage I remember was that my PC never slowed down when running tons of programs, which was especially helpful then with the sea of spyware start-up apps that would bring pedestrian systems to their knees. Windows 2000/XP Pro were so good at managing workloads between the CPUs that anything less than SETI@home would barely be a hiccup, and buffer under-run when burning CDs became a thing of the past. Though in contrast to the video I don't remember it being that expensive at all. There was the second CPU, of course, but that was only another ~$210, the mobo was only a little more expensive than other boards, I didn't try to max out the RAM, I had the usual 2 HHD, CD burner, a GeForce2 GTS/Pro I got for dirt cheap on ebay, it was perfectly reasonable and serviceable until it was replaced by a Pentium 4C. Maybe there were more boards then that used registered/ECC RAM and had SCSI controllers natively, cuz the VP6 was just a regular board with 2 CPU sockets and I don't think I paid anymore than $125 at most. Tho the mobo was a victim of the capacitor plague, it was still just within warranty by 2 months, got it all fixed up and it was retired to the role of LAN party server for whatever we wanted, usually counter-strike, UT2K4, Quake 3, etc.
A friend of mine still has it. Maybe I'll dust it off and see if it still works. No idea what I could possibly use it for, even 2 Pentium IIIs at 1 Ghz apiece will barely run anything modern.

Short Answer: As long as it has the same instruction sets.
While individual software did not support dual CPU it helped in the overall smoothness of the system that ran several processes. There were some licensing issues. XP Home was not licensed for two CPUs. XP Pro was.
Had a dual AMD Opteron 6000 series system for over 10 years now. I like the upgrade path as previously (extremely) costly processors become affordable. Currently running dual 6380 with 64GB and Vega 64. I use it for gaming and video editing and everything else.
When gaming I run the game server on one processor and the client (my actual game) on the other and there are no latency or lag issues like I found when trying to do the same on a regular gaming system.
Allocating resources with custom startup files enables me to run several programs at once (such as capture and render at the same time) without them interfering with each other in terms of resources or timing.

I had a dual Pentium 166 back in the day. It wasn't just that there wasn't much in multithreaded programs. You needed at least Windows NT or Linux to even be able to use the second cpu. In W95 or W98 the second CPU was unavailable... Also in those days the CPUs had to be the same and preferably from the same batch or it would be unstable. But it did allow you to encode a CD to MP3 and still have usable system. Which mattered since encoding an entire CD to mp3 took hours that you could otherwise not use your system for something else ;-)
If you looking for short answer. Data center technician here. All of our servers have dual cpus. They are not there to combine power, but for two purposes: 1. If one fails the other kicks in 2. Each one has a purpose different from the other one ie two customers could use same host.

Back in the day we were visiting my dad's friend and in his garage he had plenty of computer parts and so we just made a computer except 2 CPU's which kept the cost down and also we were playing with 386 parts not 486 as this was the older stuff in their garage that they had plenty of which was not so outdated at the time, and then later more of these things popped up and people were eventually trying to make 586 PC's. The problem now, which this video talks about is the software not taking advantage of the hardware. An other thing I did back when I was younger was look into solid state drive technology, that had been around sense the 1980's. An other funny thing is having a circuit board full of RAM and using it like a temporary drive which as you probably know is going to loose all the data if that computer gets turned off, and so you still wanted to work with a hard drive and then move some data over to the circuit board full of RAM. Solid state drive technology from way back when what I played with, which you might as well think of as a USB flash drive with less storage space, but this was before USB was available but really the technology was different.
0:42 Damn I absolutely want to see a review of that motherboard!
DX was effectually two SX CPUs in one package, thats why the DX ones rocked at the time. 1.5 clock cycles per instruction cycle due to pipelines. along came the Pentium One and 1.5 instructions per clock cycle. the DX4-120 from Cyrix was just faster than the Pentium 75s. P90s and up left the DX 486 world behind. the modern era of 21st century computing had begun.
Also I don't know why people are dying for an Intel i9 my $5 pc has a Intel i386.
CUDA explained, please! :)
I ran a dual Pentium 3 733 for a few years in the early 2000's. Rocked Windows NT, 2000, and XP. Not for playing games, for game development when we had to process art assets ahead of time when making local builds. Ran multi cpu after than until eventually we got multi core machines standard off the shelf.
I'm a long time subscriber, I can confirm all my zips still work.
Me watching this in my trusty old dual 6 core 2010 Mac Pro
Nice! I literally just watched this on my 2010 hp z600 with dual xeon x5650
@Big Fat Boi maybe in time. might be selling this current rig soon to help get a xbox series x
6 core????????????????????????????
@@OnionYeeter Yups, Intel Xeon
@@blakemalley9053 Cool, I have dual x5675's, I even game on it
it's like youtube having the second ad; whilst linus segway-ing his ads.

Our Macpro 1.1 from 2005? Is still kicking ass. Has dual quad Xeon’s
Imagine having two 64 core threadrippers and dual RTX 3090s running microsoft flight simulator at 8k ultra settings with both the Threadripper and the 3090s overclocked as far as they can go. I wonder how much power that would use.
Ah yes, this is my 2kW psu

*motherboard explodes*
Well I'm still running my dual xeon 2006 mac pro so yeah
I used to have a Dual Pentium 133 MHz with 64Mb memory running on a HX chipset. The best part was being able to have the ability to launch a game on specific one CPU, while the rest of Windows 2000 ran on the other. Back in the days that was the best performance I could squeeze out of any computer.
basically we can increase the bus width on motherboard and divide it equally to multiple cpus by creating data dividing bridge on motherboard for processing. In this way by using two 64 bit cpus 128 bit data can be processed at a time, 256 bit data by four 64 bit cpus, 512 bit data by eight 64 bit cpus and so on for next generation ultra fast processing technique.
People still dont know that they can simply download more cpu and ram from the internet
Exactly 😆
I downloaded a Ryzen 1 bill for free and it so fast. Can even load through the gta screens in 1 second
I downloaded 2 Ryzen Treadripper off the internet and 2 RTX 3090TI in SLI and 10pib of ram.
I was wanting a video on this a few days ago. Don't believe me? I wouldn't either, and I am me.
I believe you though. Because I am you.
I had one of the first dual CPU consumer platforms back in the day, the legendary Abit BP6 with two Celeron chips. The problem was none of the consumer operating systems of the day supported more than one CPU, so I've had to compile a Linux kernel which added SMP support and also dual-boot into Windows NT for my Windows software. On top of that, device drivers back then weren't really designed to be thread-safe, so I remember frequent lock-ups with Creative's sound drivers. It was really a lot more trouble than what it's worth.
When Windows 2000 Pro came out, that was actually a pleasant and performant operating system which supported dual processors and ran many popular games of the day at a decent speed, such as Quake 3, which in itself was one of the few games that supported dual processors. Happy days. Compatibility wasn't 100% though, so I still had to keep a Win98SE partition around for many games.
The Imac pro mid 2010 (the big box) already had two xeon 5020. And customized can run catalina
