Got this thing in a lot awhile back. Die is cracked, so it's pretty darn dead (not that I have a 1567 board to run it in anyways...).

It doesn't have any surface-mount parts, it's missing the heatspreader, and the top of the die is GOLD!

Is this a mech sample? Or just a defect chip thrown off the line? Does anyone here have a LGA1567 mech sample or a sample similar to this?

Thanks!

Given the complete silence here, is it safe to assume that this is *something* special? Dancing

If nobody knows what it is (due to missing the ihs) and it is broken, I would hazard a guess that it is worthless Smile

I’ll compare some bottoms and we’ll get closer for sure

Birdman has been decapping things for die shots so that will help too

It probably broke and got scrapped before an ihs was installed

I just find it interesting that there are no SMT components populated on the top of the chip. All of the other LGA1567 chips I've seen with this pad arrangement had chips on 'em.

Nehalem-EX-D0

Yah interesting they never got installed, but those may go on after testing too

THe markings are interesting to, maybe it was a mech sample for die placement?

-3,-2 could be coordinates
