Congratulations to 100th+ episodes: )
3dfx voodoo 1 was in '96. GeForce 256 was in '99. Yes, I think GeForce 256 deserves to be called GPU while the voodoo is more of a 3d acceleration card (even needs a separate dedicated 2d card) the 1996 equivalent was Nvidia's NV1.
Comparing GeForce 256 Performance to voodoo1 is a bit unfair, 3 years difference is a lot in a time when those cards made huge jumps with each generation.
And yes, GeForce 256 changed everything but I'd still take Voodoo 1 as the legendary one. I'd argue that 3dfx brought 3d acceleration into everybody's mind. It was clear: if you want the best visuals and performance you need a dedicated 3d card in addition to your CPU. A mantra that stands to this very day.
Yes graphic cards weren't new, but the whole game changed backed than.

Back in the days - in the old world, when giants and dragons were ruling the world - I used Socket 7 for several years. At first with a Pentium 75, then a P133 and eventually a P200 MMX. The rapid progress was astonishing. My first Quake 1 session was a minecraft-stroboscope like experience and it changed to a fairly good looking, smooth game and gave me the capability to destroy a mighty ancient creature in the end; -)

C'mon guys. The Ryzen chip introduction is a watershed moment for CPUs. Think about how many things Ryzen has changed in the market in TWO YEARS! It's NEVER happened before. The price/performance metric was shattered with the intro of Ryzen. And not only has it affected what is now considered an average user desktop config, but it has also affected how software developers are now designed software including games.

The first 3dfx graphics chip should absolutely be in the PC Hall of Fame. Before the first 3dfx chip, PCs had 3d decelerators. Thanks to this chip, it jump started PC/Console/Arcade gaming as we know it, which led to multi purpose GPUs for AI inference and professional rendering task. It's the most significant piece of hardware that ever came out besides the first ever CPU.

The Athlon 64 was also a game changer. It basically destroyed the adoption of the Itanium 64bit processor that Intel wanted everyone to change to and leave 32 bit world behind. AMD came out with the 32-64 design that to this day Intel still uses the license from AMD for their x86 chips.

your 200 eps predictions are very interesting, I would just say that even though ray tracing is the way to go I can't see gpu's improve 500% in 2 years so that they can do a pleasant job at ray tracing. I can see amd fulfill a ryzen style graphics revolution, but no one will buy amd.

Just of the Topic most of the music genre including Rock & Rolls is inspired by Legendary Blues. Blues is absolutely original. Congratulations - I actually used to visit PC world & PC mag websites regularly for software & hardware related information long time back.

I only found this because I followed Gordon over from Maximum PC hoping for some -I hate all this! -#t- rants. I have to say, I have been slightly disappointed. Therefore.

PC Hall of Fame: Just want to give some love to two additional AMD innovations: 1) AMD bringing 64-bit to the desktop AND (related) 2) AMD bringing dual-core (leading to multi-core) on a single chip with the X2.

My first PC was a Socket 7 build-- An AMD K6-III 400 on a hand-me-down i430VX (crap, soon replaced by a DFI K6Bv3+. I still have it in my garage. And it still boots (runs pfsense now)
