 |
|
I waited for the auction to finish.. congrats to the winner 
This was interesting as it shows that Intel does make mistakes at times 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200965609928
A80486DX4-100
V591510E ES << mistake in FPO (guessing should be week 15 1995)
&EW 3Volt Q0759
die produced week 51 1994 (54519020NA)
test date week 14 1995
I am happy this is not a remark.. apart from FPO mark error all other aspects appear genuine 
The use of m instead of M is likely due the processor marked in the V plant
I haven't had a look around.. but if anyone is aware of any other V plant processors.. let me know please
On a side note Lither's Q0760 DX4-75 is a L plant from week 14 1995

think I would have them running & screaming to quickly for their liking
first thing I would get them to go back to meaningful part numbers.. not their stupid system now 
and also get them to include qSpecs & OEM sSpecs back on their MDDS site

Maybe they used to generate the FPO manually

I'm happy to have your comment on it. I'm confused when I received it because of the FPO error. I will compare it with my other 486 ES to make the conclustion. |

I have a Xeon 5128 from the V plant. But, due to the A4 marking, the V letter should refer to an USA plant...
