Intel FV80503200 Q019 ES

[gshv]

I found recently very interesting processor:



As you can see it's an engineering sample... or not? Q019 corresponds to Pentium MMX 166, not 200, so it's clearly a remarked processor.

I have a nice remarked chip too, crappy work

[CPUShack]

accept yours was remarked by Intel.

apparently they remarked alot of SX25s to this new Sspec # and speed.

[Minuteman]

Oh, I didn't know that Intel remarked it's own chips

Hi genna,

I don't think this CPU was remarked. ES are something strange and I have some differents sample with the same S-Spec too :



If you look at the DS, Q140 is for a PPGA CPU...

[CPUShack]

yah, with ES things are alot differnt, since they are all internal to Intel (for the most part)

Sorry for digging out this ancient thread, but I found a Q019 recently.

It's a Pentium MMX 166 and not 200 !
I'm completely sure that my chip is genuine, because I found it in a pile of chips from a scrap yard.

I also found this chip in a pile of scrap. Purchased for 10cents. I have no idea what is up with the q019 spec. This chip may have been produced as an es from intel or it may be a period forgery. A remarked 166 processor that some chinese firm produced to dupe folks back then. It was most certainly not produced recently to hose collectors though. The quality of the print is good enough to fool me either way. There seem to be an awful lot of these q019's around it would be nice to know the story behind it.

[FDIV]

I just noticed something on these q019's. It is very unlikely they are period fakes. The batch codes and such are different on each one. Fakers usual just slap the same text on everything because it is easier. It is unlikely a faker would go to such trouble as to make all different batch numbers but still use an incorrect ES Q-spec when trying to pass off 166 remarks as 200mhz.

We have already told about this fake/not-fake in the "Latest finds (Modern chips)" (page 4) and lither found that there was "evidence" of it in 1997 in the intel.mmx_technology newsgroup

I have some info here and a link to Google groups http://www.chipdb.org/img-intel-pentium-fv80503200-q019-fake-6125.htm

Going through my collection the other day, I realised that I had one of these ES Pentium MMX chips. I hadn't noticed it before and have no idea where it came from. Mine differs from the above photos by having 'MALAY' on the fourth line instead of 'A4' (see photo). Is this one of the fakes too? It has the factory heatsink/fan. Heatsink has no markings on it that typical factory heatsinks do.

[Cpuswe]

Interesting that you got Malay instead of A4 but as lither says, it should say A4 i think. Can you test it with a cpu-id app? The real Q019 has a cpu-id of 544 and the fake has 543

Can i add your image to the fakes category?
