It's a cool chip to have in collection, but not at $1200. It should have more reasonable value in a few years. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if in a week Stu finds one on eBay for 5 bucks

more likely $12 once you factor in postage

nice one mate
will have to do a bit more research on IBM productions codes for newer processors to see if they changed them
... as B normally means 1982 or 2001

may be I'm wrong
if you looks at the picture there are 2+2 missing contacts in the corners
in my chip there are 2+1
may be are different chips/CPUs in the same package
but I never seen a Power 7 and so I can't confirm that |

I find this , it's referred at Power7 CPU
IBM’s presentation indicates that the chip will be packaged differently for different applications: in a single-chip organic package for 2p and 4p racks; in a single-chip glass ceramic package for mid-range arrays, with two memory controllers, and a quad-chip multi-chip module for compute-intensive apps, with 8 memory controllers.
Yup! so it can be the same also with Power6
I ever seen only the ceramic version like this picture or the MCM
so I remain doubtful |
