My computer - Page 2

I have two travel laptops. A lightweight HP with an i7-1165G7 + 1 TB SSD, and a heavy MSI gaming laptop with an i7-11800H + 2 x 2 TB of SSD. Both have 64GB of ram.

When not traveling, the heavy laptop is my NAS and the light one is my "couch laptop". Both were intentionally picked with AVX512 and maxed out memory so I can work on the road.

My main gaming/coding machine at home is:

Zen4 7950X (stock)
Asrock Steel Legend X670E
4 x 32GB @ 4400 (RGB Corsair Dominator)
GTX 1050Ti
850W RGB PSU
360 RGB AIO in push+pull
1 TB NVMe SSD
4 x 1440p 27 in. IPS monitors

This is not the same machine as the one that AMD sent me last year. That machine has since been disassembled: Development mobo is in the closet. ES chip on display on my shelf. The 4 x 16GB OEM ram, PSU, and 360 AIO are spare parts for open air testing future builds.

I don't run any computing projects, though I do have a Zen2 3950X with 128GB ram running a server and a bunch of gaming automation stuff.

Beyond that, I have a ton of inactive machines which I really only turn on when I need to re-tune y-cruncher or run some specific benchmarks. (i9-7900X, i9-7940X, R5-5600X, R7-1800X, i7-6820HK, i7-5960X, i7-4770K, FX-3580, i7-3630QM, PII X3 720, i7-920, Q6600)

Oh I also have a NUC on my TV - the Cannon Lake 8121U NUC. Got it years ago for the new AVX512 flavors. Now that there's better hardware with those flavors, it's retired to being a... NUC.

Here's my entry. Just completed this machine:

Intel 8008 Processor
500 Khz clock speed
48K bank-switched static RAM (16K is non-volatile)
256 bytes video RAM
Serial port (up to 1200 baud supported)
Cassette interface
8 built-in controlled AC outlets
5 8-bit input ports
4 8-bit output ports
Real time clock

It comes with built-in Process Control software, written completely in assembly.

I think I'm ready to start crunching my first 100 million digit exponent on it! Anyone have any Prime95 code that will run on a 8008?

Quad core skylake laptop daily driver. 8 core Ryzen 4700u mini PC with 64GB of RAM and a fast SSD for messing about, mostly headless but it's also the retro console. Got rid of most other hardware a while ago.

The next purchase will likely have a phoenix apu (4nm TSMC, good iGPU, AVX512?), probably a 16" framework laptop because it's modular so you can add 2xM.2 instead of a dGPU for 3xM.2 total. Going to go crazy on storage next upgrade.
