It’s a #wrap! The top drawer shows a random shiny collection of #CPUs visible always through the glass top. This is followed by 6 further drawers carrying #2 Intel, #3 Cyrix/IBM/TI, #4 Motorola, #5 AMD, #6 various ICs, #7 Intel Server CPUs. Now I have space again! 2/2

It’s a wrap! Late November I started a new project with the aim to rearrange my large #CPU collection. I set up a cupboard with several drawers to now display the #CPU collection #horizontally. I still use my wooden cases for vertically exhibiting some chips. 1/2

Seems like it is #PentiumPro time!! Left: the 512KB L2 Cache (not on-die but on the same package) Right: the CPU (#Intel KB80521EX200) -350 nm technology (BiCMOS) -5.5 million transistors the CPU -31 million transistors Cache -0.3g gold content

I got my Pentium Pro 200 MHz processors (with 1MB cache!) in the mail today. Thought I would get them installed and do some form of benchmarks. Did everything go off without a hitch? Of course not 😂. So, what happened this time? Let's talk about it! 🧵 time!

Part 3 deals with some late 1990s AMD processors!

@robcfg Both lists would be long, though my collection is pretty large. I miss a Pentium Pro with 1MB L2 Cache, some newer MIPS R16000 for example, certain Alpha DEC variants, early HP RiSC CPUs and many oddities like Chips 386, etc… happy to trade.

@duke_cpu Do you have a list if what you have or a wishlist of what don’t have but would like to? 😃

@ENIGMASBACK Just look at my profile how I store the CPUs…

@duke_cpu Nice, IF one day you have so much excess, like myself, then like my plan, you could create a Montage of Different Tech components , i.e. make two picture frames of you choice in size and hang them on the wall, they would look very interesting in a man/woman cave ... Thoughts ?

@tcccorp No idea, quit packed, many bond pads, no logic visible…

It’s a #Ferrari! Maybe misleading but the HD controller made by #STM of the #Seagate harddrive ST34323A from 1999 does not only show a horse head but also the text FERRARI. Maybe a reference to performance and speed, but maybe only the designer’s name?

@szeloof I like your doodles, any chance to get a Z1 or Z2 for microscopy shots?
