If you're refering to the A80501... That's the part number.

yup its uncommon but you will see it
there are 52 weeks and 1 day per year, so Dec 31st (a saturday in 1994) is technically week 53

Thanks for the insight.


the die was made 433 (week 33, 20 weeks earlier) the CPU was assembled / tested on New years eve, in Malay, I doubt the workers their get it off.

I doubt it was made on New Year's eve. Because beginning of each week is usually tied to specific day of week, probably Sunday, the first week of a year may be shorter than 7 days. This leaves more days for the 53rd week.

Its possible but I do know that Intel typical runs its plants 24/7 3 shifts per day. Assembly/test you can stop on occassion, but wafer fab is very very hard to stop and start.

This has had me looking at the date codes a little more.. just from looking at my scanned pentium chips, the lag time from wafer to assembly is about 13 weeks for production chips and about half that, as you would expect, for the Q-specs.

486's are little quicker with a lag time of about 10 weeks.

Here is possibly an obscure competition to run, who has the biggest lag from wafer to assembly.
