    I'll go first

    - Pentium 4 (got hot as a heater and had lower performance that AMD chips)
    - Pentium D (2 Pentium 4's stuck to each other)
    - AMD FX Series (bad performance for the money)

    1st gen core i mobile
    i3-370m barely runs Underground 2.
    HP 2010 is playable, unless you are trying to do time trials- you press to turn, wait 5 secs->car turns.

    AMD Mobile Sempron is single-core and really slow.

    For its price maybe, but it's not that slow.

    AMD FX4130 Black edition
    Paid 100€ back in the day.. Now it´s worth .. A Penny maybe.

    Performance sucks for a "QUAD" core which really is just a 2 core.
    and in general it cant handle any games. My dads old Phenom X2 965 was faster

    I had a 4170, wasn't that bad, until I got a 970...
    Its competitor was the i3-3220, and it was better than it both in performance and in price.

    The 333Mhz Celery for Slot 1 systems was pretty good, still have one somewhere.
    But socket PGA 478 and then LGA 775 (WHY???) models aren't that good... Unless you have one with low clocks, then it's good in a personal file server.

    Yup thats the one, that was genesis and it was without doubt the worst processor EVER constructed I could go back to Colossus, which was the first official computer ever built, but since it was classified the Americans invested it first, which is wrong because the Brits beat them by 100 years with Charles Babbages Difference engine...

    Yeah, I mean the price. I don't think there is much point in getting it, besides for LOLs

    The P4 was actually a ground breaking CPU, as was the Pentium D (for Intel at least).

    The D was two P4s soldered together, maybe because it was their first dual-core, but I don't see how it is ground breaking.
