I am presenting one of my chip. I left it in my collection as it has funny picture on it. It is Santa Claus I think. Do you have or have seen any other pictures on ICs? I know that there pictures on dies but on the IC it seems to be very rare. The one I am presenting comes from old IBM ThinkPad laptop.

Very interesting. It's not Santa Claus, but the God of Luck believed in Japanese folklore. He is an almighty person and when he swings the hammer, he can take out anything you want.

Oh, I have not heard before about God of Luck. I thought that it is Santa Clause but did not know what he has in right hand Smile. Now it is clear.

Maybe someone post here other examples of such chips.

Oh. Is that Sukuna Shinmyoumaru's mallet in his right hand? Very Happy

(Yeah, I know, it's ZUN who puts each and every character and item in Japanese [and some foreign] folklore into his Touhou games...)

Refreshing to see something this unusual. Feels almost like the infamous "Bill Sux" in those Pentiums Very Happy

Cat pictures are popular around the 'net, I guess Very Happy

It's a printer's PCB as I guess from the connectors. I've never seen the whole thing.
