It's a very bad fake, although I'm not sure what it was. There were similar celeron and Pentium MMX, but the celeron had a larger die cap and the MMX had capacitors, so I'm stumped. It's obvious they sanded off the real details on the bottom.

| It looks like a Mendocino Celeron, with a silly "Pentium III 1300" engraved cap glued on top. |

Mendocino celeron in PPGA package topped off at 533MHz.. Anything faster would be a FCPGA type. Looks like the bottom markings have been scrubbed off it.. And yeah it's just a really bad fake. I doubt any PPGA celeron would run at 1.3GHz, in any event..  |

especially considering 1300 is not divisible by 133 lol
I suppose you could run a 533 celeron at 133 bus to get 1066, for a few seconds LOL
