I'm loving the tree but am a little confused why Pentium II Klamath isn't connected to Pentium Pro. 😖 unless this is a tree going by product lines and not CPU ancestry?

would be one hell of a tangle to get P3 to PM to CoreDuo with all those P4/Celeron variants down there

Well i realized that cpu ancestry is not way to go, unless youre spider and love webs everywhere. Last time i checked, i was missing 6 more legs, so i decided im not spider and stayed with product lines. So on top are servers, under them destops, then mobile and bottom is reserved for embeeded (all of them sorted by product lines if possible from highend to lowend). Tryed to sort them by time, so previous models should be left from their following, but its not like that everywhere (due limited space and sometimes im not sure - for example xeons is one big mess as i stated in previous posts - noone corrected them, so they stay as they are, unless someone will do). Another problem is that some cores are there in many product lines. If i sort them by core technology, then will be there even bigger mess - many modern cores are used in 3 or even more product lines.

Btw: source file is available on mine site, so you can always wait till is finished enough for you and rework lines for your use - good luck with that. For me is big problem find even basic info, cpu-world database have more or less models than wikipedia and info what core follows is rare.

Status update - added Zilog and Motorola (without Power PC).

Another day gone, another cpu maker done 😉 This e-archeology starting to get more hardcore.... This time i did National Semiconductor and now i know who did 1st 16 and 32bit cpu.....

Status update - added Cyrix and Sun.

Btw should i highlight by color also 1st xx core cpus? (same as i do now 1st 8/16/32bit cpu). Like first dual/quad/8x core and so on cpus?

I didn't see Nexgen in there.

Same as many others. Noone said i did nexgen already.

Added MOS Technology, Transmeta and due many (1) requests also NexGen 😉 .

Added Texas Instruments, Rise Technology and Western Design Center.

Added Fujitsu, Loongson, Nvidia and ShenWei.

Added Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies, UMC and updated Texas Instruments with x86 clones.

Added Chips and Technologies, MIPS Technologies and Quantum Effect Devices/PMC-Sierra.

Getting out of ideas, what to do more. So its time for wishlist. If you have some tips for cpu makers to add, feel free to suggest.
Just remember that these people should do (so dont ask for them)
achtung049 - Compaq, DEC, HP.
henriok - PPC/POWER.
Tralalák - VIA.
At last i hope they are working on it.

Been skippin some update info. So alltogether now. Since last post added
Acorn Computers (now known as ARM)
Ross Technology
Signetics
Fairchild Semiconductor
Mostek and Intergraph
Nec

Cleaned up the thread a bit.

Graphics related, on page 1 of this thread I reuploaded the Real3D R3D/100 card photo I had archived from the former website of the graphics card collection of Timber / [EOCF] Tim (I don'r own the card). His old ImageShack album has gone offline. If anyone else snagged his website and/or photos (it's unlikely that the Internet Archive saved the ImageShack photos), please let me know. 😀

Status update - after few days of research i added Apple graphics to history tree. Sadly every mac site is full of info about everything but graphics chips. So i had to do it old hard way. Luckilly there was nice done Developer Notes available to many apple computers, so i was able to find names of most chips. Had to do short txt file to sort informations - you can look at it here - http://vgamuseum.info/images/doc/apple/apple.txt . If you know about any graphic card or chip from apple missing there, let me know...
