I was updating interesting auctions page ( http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/BrowseEAuctions.pl ), and found this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-CPU-Phantom-486-Ceramic-Collectable-Vintage-Gold-/320684104987?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aaa431d1b

The chip is marked as Phantom PX 486. It was probably re-branded from Cyrix/TI 80386 upgrade chips by some small/mid-size company. Google search doesn't return any useful information.

Wow! This reminds me of the 486er from
Eagle Memories.

Never heard about any of these 2. Any idea what they were rebranded from?

The underside markings / die cap shape are the same as a TI 486DLC or TI SXL2-50
My TI SXL2-50 is marked DLI Taiwan in the same way.
