The 486 DX-50 SX808 is either a very rare CPU or a fake:

Seems like a fake since SX808 belongs to a DX2-50. I have not seen this faked before though, so even as a fake its a bit rare.

DX-50 would be faster than DX2-50 because the buss speed is faster. However, the Dx-50's had trouble getting allong with PCI slots and were dropped from the product line. Although they aren't exactly rare you don't find them every day. I have only found one ever myself.

As to this processor, they text dosen't look quite right. Its like its the wrong font or something. It looks suspect to me and I think a faked dx-50 is entirely possible. Typically fakes are made of the fastest cpu in a class and the dx-50 was the fastest 486 at one time.

Fake for two motives:
1) -4-
2) acute edges

I believe that is not a fake of epoch, but recent. Sad
