Intel Processor Timeline (From 1993 to present)

I've created a list of Intels processor range, and the years that they came out, I've also tried to arrange it from worst to best.
Some information was taken from SHARN's thread, here

1993: Intel Pentium
1995: Intel Pentium Pro
1997: Intel Pentium II
1998: Intel Celeron (Pentium II based)
1998: Intel Pentium II Xeon
1999: Intel Pentium III
2000: Intel Celeron (Pentium III based)
2000: Intel Pentium 4
2002: Intel Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading
2003: Intel Pentium M
2003: Intel Celeron M
2004: Intel Celeron D
2005: Intel Pentium Extreme
2005: Intel Pentium D
2007: Intel Pentium Dual Core
2007: Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo
2008: Core2Quad | 4 core/4 threads
2007: Core2Xtreme | 4 core/8 threads
2010: Core i3 | 2 core/2 threads
2009: Core i5 | 2 core/4 threads
2009: Core i5 | 4 core/4 threads
2008: Core i7 | 4 core/8 threads
2008: Core i7 980X | 6 cores/12 threads
2011: Sandy Bridge

I think the list is pretty accurate, but I'm not certain that it's 100%.

You missed a spot...

Added :happy
Do the rest look OK?

[Drumm]

That really dates my Q6600 Core2Quad. I need something new. 2.4GHz don't cut it.

[bigsharn]

-_- Sandy Bridge was out by Q2 2010, YOUR INFORMATION IS WRONG.


And Drumm, overclock it

[Drumm]

I physically can't. My MoBo doesn't support it.

[Mark]

The first sandy bridge processor released was 2011?
Drumm I'll take it off your hands for a very reasonable price then you can get the processor of your dreams!

[Pack3t SynAck3r]

Sandy Bridge was released too soon. All the mobos are taking a shit. Very unlike Intel....I believe they fear ARM but that is a story for another day when I am actually interested in communicating.
