 Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2014 5:08 pm Post subject: ES or not ES, that is the question... |
 |
|
While looking at ES, I often find some chips not clearly marked as samples, but which could be. Sometimes because of where they come from, sometimes for other reasons. I'll post them here to get your thought about them but everybody can use this thread for "border-line" CPUs.
To start, I just sorted a bunch of scrap CPUs from an US validation facility. Two chips still remain in the "unsure" box.
The first one is a classic NxVL, but came in a Box marked "Pre". Seems earlier than every other known and the "Y02" (stepping?) is also quite old (wasn't able to find older than Y05 online)
The second is an UltraSparc II STP 1032 LGA but with a 360 MHz frequency not listed on Cpu world. There is some trace of them on Google, but I know nothing about Sparc.
Thanks for your help

Some sparc freqs are not listed on cpu-world.
360 is known speed, no signs of ES. |

$3-5
Scrapping is the last option imho.
I can take it for $4. |

NxVL is just a chipset. Never understood why some collectors see the with the same importance as the Nx586, when most don't collect most chipsets.
No idea about the Y02, whether it is a stepping or just part of the lot code or what it is.

Agree. But everything marked Nexgen seem utterly attractive

I don't collect non-ES and I'm thinking of a way to give away all my regular (and almost worthless) CPUs to fellow collectors for free. You'll get this one  |
Oh, thanks a lot! |

For me its because it looks cool. It says Nexgen, has a cool pin arrangement and has a gold cap! I'd collect more chipsets if they looked like that!

Perhaps, these are early Q-Spec numbers, similar to how Intel had early S#### S-Spec numbers.
