Someone was asking about this recently so I figured I'd write a breif article on why we see so many chipped CS chips

Really nothing past the very early 1980's. Confusingly intel also used a 2 character die code on later chips AA AB ...CS...etc. This is what you see on the backs of things like Pentiums.

The CS on this R80286-12 is not a sample marking, merely a die code (as one forum member infamously found out haha)
