It has the part number on the upper left hand side. Please take a look

It should be 66P1850.

Sounds like an IBM part number.

I would be looking at early SX1000 chipset Superdome cell boards for PA8800/8900 & Itanium 2s

EDIT >> I suspect it is the ASIC "Cell Controller" used on the SX1000 version of Integrity Superdome cell board
on a side note the different SX1000 board part numbers start with A6866..
and cell board parts start with A6866....

cant find a good pic of a SX1000.. but here is the SX2000 board
Where the heat-sink/fan is.. is where the Cell Controller is

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but Agilent Technologies copyrighted die mask 2AJ9-0002:

http://www.copyrightencyclopedia.com/orion-enterprise-test-management-system-2bb4-ploto2cr-2aw7/

Another coincidence is that the mask was copyrighted in 2003, and the chip was also made in 2003.

I found something intereting. I believe there are two type chip.

One is cell controller used in Itanium system as you mentioned. That is the one bought from picur10. Another one is is the processor mentioned by gshv.

I'll post the picture later to show the difference.

two type of controller. Upper one came from itanium board (according to picur10 say); lower two is unknown.

Lower two are thicker than the upper one but has the same pin.
