One of the last remaining desktop CPU makers was recently disbanded. Their last prototype, codenamed Centaur Hauls, promised much more than a normal processor could do…

For the real nerds, there's a scene in the first season of Mr Robot where some of the servers are on Centaur CPUs, the CPU ID shows their "CentaurHauls" tagline in the console.

11:04 -- "Three-hundred-and-fifty megabits... That is not fast." I wish my internet was that slow.
-
‘How many points was that?’ ‘No’ I laughed way too hard at that 😂
-
11:04 Linus: 350 megabit. That is, not fast. Me sitting here with 30: That's over 10x mine, what do you mean that's not fast?! I get 60 on a GOOD day.
-
00:01 Well... there were a few caps different on the bottom... 🧐

Tell me you're Canadian without telling me you're Canadian... "It's a super cool game where you go on a campaign to restore hockey to its former glory"
-
Youtube keeps suggesting this video, and ive kept ignoring it because i thought it was from like 2016, linus without a beard is trippy
-
I love The Office reference right at the beginning!! "HR needs you to tell the difference between these two images (CPUs)"
-
Why does Linus with no beard suddenly look like 2018 Linus If you want the lockdown beard back 👇
-
Why is Linus progressively getting younger and younger? I Know the drama brought changes but i didnt think he'd literally be regressing into his old form
-
Been thinking about getting the backpack, and jumped on the new edition with the discount. Thanks.
-
I had a Cyrix, back in the 486dx2 turbo times.... But I think I actually purchased it from one of those "computer shows" places, where random people would sell computer stuff, swap meet style.
-
I have close contacts with someone who has been fairly active in playing with Centaur chips and boards... I wonder if it's the same person.. Either way, it's great to see it being shown off to the world!
-
That thumbnail got me back to 4 years ago
-
i like that setting called "The concluder"
-
In love with the widescreen format ❤
-
I applaud their efforts. Any competition vs defacto duopolies is a good thing.
-
Stuff like thus just shows how broken patent law is, where It's next to impossible to become a CPU company. Large companies can decide to limit innovation because It's not fiscally responsible to the shareholders. Hope RISC V eventually creates new innovations and companies with an emphasis on having open designs.

I was just thinking about Emily earlier today. Check the website bios today. Thank God you still work at LTT. Thank you for making an appearance via voice! Miss your work!

The first PC I ever owned (given to me by my Aunt who got it from her boss) was an Epson banded PC that used a 50MHz Cyrix 486 CPU which I upgraded to their 75 MHz version. I still have a Cyrix 586 CPU somewhere in my house.
