q029 pentium ??????????

[pinkie]

Maybe it's a Pentium Pro witrhout L2 cache proto.

Asking Intel would give any response? Or those guys tend to say they are under lifetime NDA?



Really wierd, if it is a NIC why they'd use a PPro pinout?
If a PPro with no L2, why marketing such a loser? Since L2 cache is a must since 486?

Core logic is a good guess though.

Cpuldn't it be a Celeron ES instead? No L2 cache for the first models.
I can't see any other suicidal intent from Intel except cacheless celeron.

I count 350 Pins - does that tell anyone anything?

Let's start with where did you find the chip?

Maybe it is a cache controller. Like a more advanced version of the A82496 or A82497.

The package isn't important, if you are using a technology to "maybe" extend the life of a socket and then use results to produce it with another technology.

Build a board for that only purpose and after switch to a product, keep the core or the idea and apply it to a new socket, P2.

Complicated and it's more like finding a needle we think must be in that haystack.


Bend the spoon... there's no spoon...

At this point everything is worth a shot

This sort of reminds me of my DEC prototype chip that looks like an alpha but has a socket configuration that is unknown. I contacted Intel's museum as well as some other companies that acquired pieces of DEC as it went under. I have not recieved any responses but you may have better luck since your chip is from a company that is still alive. I wish you luck. Here is a link to the intel museum people: http://www.intel.com/museum/museumcontacts.htm
Your chip, being one which may represent a socket that never made it out of production, is quite important historically and I certainly wouldn't open it up.

Great find !

I have never been able view pictures from my current access point which are hosted at http://www9.babidou.com

If you can't post an image direct to the forum (ie upload with your post) please see if you are able to find a more accessible site to host pics (there have been a few posts recently with pics that ahve turned out to be unviewable form here - I'll be so glad to soon get connected from home again )

[Cpuswe]

For those that can no see the pic... I have added the chip in a newly created category for Unknown chips.

Are Intel q-Specs released in order?

I mean, whats Q027 and Q029? Maybe that might help.... maybe!

[CPUShack]

they are not released in order unfortunately, at least not in numerical order.
