I have a blank pentium with an unsoldered die cap ( die cap held by tape) - and die is present.
It came along with a 25year anniversary booklet from Intel and a large Pentium wafer. Sadly the packaging was bad and the wafer arrived broken.

I didnt pay much for it, about $15 at the time (about 1-2 year ago), and it appeared to come from an Estate clearance.. so I wonder how it came to be released by Intel and why.....

There are 223 different Pentium Sspecs in x86-guide database (201 if you exclude Overdrives). + 139 QSpecs...


Genna has 190 Pentium sSpecs in his database.
Three of those are fake (SL241, SL27X & SY126)

plus if you add in the 22 overdrives.. makes the total 212
and if you add in the two D step PCPU5Vs that werent given a sSpec.. that takes the total to 214 (or 211 without the fakes)

so what are the missing sSpecs Shocked

edit >> three fakes sSpecs, not two

double edit >> Mixeur, i did a check of sSpecs listed on your site.. was a total of 212 including ODs & fakes Very Happy

So your site has the same number of sSpecs as Genna.. but not sure why your database is saying 223 Confused

Chips like that (blanks, unknown writing, etc.) are my favorite. Figuring out any odd markings and what they are is alot of fun to me. I tested the first two of these blank Pentiums and one of them turned out to be a thermal sample. The second one seems to need a ES motherboard and I just received one so hopefull I can test it soon.

I am really looking forward to seeing your Pentium collection online Smile

Smile

How did you decide it needed an ES motherboard and how do you find one?
Any special markings?

I presume that TT80503266 SL23M will be added to Genna's database... so the total will increase to 215 (or 212 without fakes)

TT80503266 SL23M was added

I presume that GC80503CSM 166MHz EXT SL3B8 will be added to Genna's database... so the total will increase to 216 (or 213 without fakes)

I'm now at 167 + 19 ES, but the 167 includes the fake sspecs, so I guess only a few away! I've only got the SY126 from the 3 fakes above...any others?

I've only 46 sSpecs (including 3 OverDrive sSpecs), but some of them in higher quantities.. I also do not have any ES Pentium nor QS or MS Pentium Sad

Well, I guess there will be a time where I will also have 100+ Pentium sSpecs Smile
