 |
|
Have a look at this:
on the bottom it has CX - JP stamped on it. didn't really take any notice of it befor, but since looking through some of your collections I noticed it may have some significance.
Can anyone tell me what it means?

My reflection is that its from a pc manufacturer. Often there are small stickers or labels on cpus with internal codes for an pc manufacturer. This one uses a stamp. So it has nothing to do with Cyrix.

It is not stamped, its engraved in the ceramic. (and the cavity is filled with thermalpaste or something...) But i understand your questioning.
Edit: Look att the "135" to the right... http://www.recode.se/cpu/documents/38975581920050814113749.jpg

yes, sorry, the CX-JP is engraved. I'm sure a munufacturer wouldn't be silly enought to enrave on their own cpu right?
I have noted that some of the earlier CYrix's - 386(?)'s have JP in the part code.
EDIT -it's not engraved , it's stamped  |

By the distributor
It is from the same plant(s) as other unmarked MII / 6x86MX CPU |

Im sorting out pictures posted in the forums and i compared this Cyrix with the ones in the newly created cpu library.
There seems to be a difference with other known mx:es. this CPU are missing the "Cyrix Corp" at the top, maybe thats why it says CX-JP instead?
Check http://www.recode.se/cpulibrary/Cyrix/6x86MX/200/index.html
Trade?
