Intersil 80C88

I am not sure if this should be in Vintage or Modern or.... but the Website does not seem to feature Intersil/Renesas as an 80C88 maufacturer.

Of course, this is the (currently) last element in the chain of
Intel Military
Harris (likely mandated second source)
Matra-Harris aka MHS (Semiconductor line Spin-off, later - except for product lines including the 8088 - acquired by Atmel)
Intersil (Spin-off of all the remaining semiconductor business)
Renesas (Producing everything with their original label; I purchased new components with both IDT and Intersil logos on them)

For the history of Harris and their semiconductor business I can recommend reading their Wikipedia page.

On one hand, I understand not listing Intersil/Renesas; on the other hand we have Harris and MHS. And we at least have new logos. And we have Intersil 80286. As a starter, I have attached a picture of an Intersil CP80C88-2Z, made in 8088/4=2022

Looks like made at 23rd week of 1982 to me

I would have said 2002 or 2012, as I think this was the second incarnation of the Intersil Corporation (spun off from Harris in 1999)

Sure it isn't just a Chinese remarked chip?

Looks suspicious...

Looks right compared to other Intersil chips I've seen pictures of

I think you posted it in the right place, as even though it is extremely late production, the core was designed in the late 70s Nobody will look for an 8088 class CPU in the modern section.
