Got these in today.
Not in the best of shape (the thermal sample has a couple chips) but super early
The ceramic one is penciled 'File P5 OLD 12/4/91 #1'
The Gold top says:
'Thermal Sample'
'Heatspreader received 4/20/91'

Oh. My. God.
again...
Oh. My. God.
IF the writing are original (which i have no doubt it is), these are by far the oldest pentiums we have seen. Windmillers Q0280 are from week 28 1992 which translates to June 8th 1992. These will then be April 12 1991 which translates to week 14 (US standard) 1991. And since its writing NOT manufacture date they are probably older than that.
WOW.

It also shows that Intel were experimenting with gold top chips from the beginning - perhaps working out how to dissipate the heat - apparently socket 4 Pentiums ran very hot.
