eg. I have a P3301A with gold leads or a white/grey C2101 (ok, George has a picture in his guide, so my can't be the only one)
Which chips might be really unique or less than 10 known?
... I remember that 1701... |

I have two that I have never seen or heard of somewhere else. HaveŽnt been collecting long so someone with longer experiece in the collecting area might have...
These are my "rarest ones"
The Cyrix 6x86 with engraved "Eng Sample" in the ceramic instead of the normal "ES" at the bottom of the goldtop
The P4 1.5 Ghz with Sspec QAQ1ES. Googling the sspec gives my page and some generic "i-have-all-searchwords-in my-meta-so-that-you-can-look-at-my-ads" type of page.

It's an usual chip, I mean not an engineering sample or such, but I've never seen it anywhere, not this exact model :

yah P PRO ES use to show up often, now they dont
Especially blank ones.
The Cyrix ones are unusual, maybe not rare, but you don't see them often at all.
Kinda like Xeon 350s

For me it would be this...Athlon Slot A Mechanical Sample
It can boot and run stable at 600MHz also
Not even press or exhibit photos have traces of their existance |

| That's a cool mech sample! I don't want to burst your bubble or anything, but don't mech samples run at 0MHz? There isn't supposed to be a cpu in there, right? |

Not always, they are just a CPU for mechanicle deimentions
wether the makers chooses to use a real CPU or a dummy one is anyones guess.

| I guess? Not gonna cut it! It could be stamped mechanical sample. Does it say anything on the top? If you have opened it before, do you know what the chips maker is? ( I remember something about Daisy Chain?) |
