what intel chip?

Can anyone tell me what kind of intel pentium this is? Thanks.

forgot the other pic!

it looks like a Pentium I, no way to tell the speeds unless you get closer to the chip. Its not faster than 200mhz if it is PI, though.

ya it's def. a Pentium. more details can be found by looking closer. if you see something like 200-mmx it's a Pentium 233Mhz MMX.

if it was mmx didnt it say it in big letters with the pentium?

I've seen it both ways. On the PIIs. But it should say the Mhz on the chip regardless.

Here's what you do. You go to Intel Processor Finder and type in the stepping (this always begins with an S) from the CPU into the search at the bottom of the page and it will tell you everything you need to know about the chip.

thats the new prototype Pentium 5. They have it hidden in a P1 casing to do testing..obviously trying to sort of "hide" it to keep it out of the public eye..of course..on the internet that never works too well.

The pins are microscopically divided longitudinally though its very hard to see with those pictures.

Each pin in that pic actually has two functions thru command mulitplexing. Basically, though it looks like a stock socket 7 casing, each pin is two pins in one..basically each pin is split longways and made of different materials with slightly different resistances....the motherboards sends two commands simultaneously on each pin and the chip itself can interpret the difference in the "double" command on each pin and actually send it to the proper "half" of the pin.

So its theoretically "twice" the "command" bandwidth though it doesnt quite work out to that in practice. (like dual channel ddr doesnt)

Wasnt there a thread on this the other day?

Its all over the chinese websites.

oh how did we miss that?
