My theory : STD associate with standard so it should be preproduction sample. Intel swapped goldcaps to black lid at bottom in '94 - correct me if I'm wrong. This should explain why this sample still have goldcap under.

STD I presume is to do with voltage type.

Voltage Spec... Nominal Tolerance Minimum Maximum
STD (Standard)........... 3.30v ±0.165 3.135v 3.465v
VR (Voltage Reduced). 3.38v ±0.083 3.300v 3.465v
VRE (VR Extended)...... 3.50v ±0.100 3.400v 3.600v

Intel produced 90 & 100MHz C2 stepping ES weeks 50 & 51 1994
At the moment I believe it is an internal Intel sample possibly for thermal testing at 120Mhz

it is at the changeover from integrated heat-spreader with gold die cap to without heat-spreader & black die cap
but the 90 & 100 ES produced the same week have black ceramic die caps
So maybe just pot luck it ended up with a gold die cap.

tags A4347 120Mhz STD
