Amusing to see only 6 people having a quad core CPU.
- actionfromafar 5y agoThose were most likely people with a motherboard with 4 CPU slots and with 4 CPUs plonked in there.
- phire 5y agoI was going to suggest it could be dual-socket, with HyperThreading enabled, but looks like the survey is HyperThreading aware and only counts real cores. So must be Quad Socket motherboards.
- Ekaros 5y agoI don't think there was even any dual dual-core solutions for x86 available in 2004... So must have been some quad socket weirdness...
- cheschire 5y agoI’m guessing it was game server software running on rack mounted servers.
- Daneel_ 5y agoUnless I'm misremembering, the first dual-core CPU on the market was the Athlon 64 X2 in 2005, so I agree that these results are likely from servers running Steam. Edit: a quick bit of google tells me both Intel and AMD released dual core CPUs in May 2005, with Intel beating AMD by a few weeks, so there you go.
- Bancakes 5y agoThe pentium D hadn't come out yet in 2004. Which quad core CPU's are you thinking of?
