White MCM TCM general ID

[c3h5]

When you forget where got something or what exactly it even is.

I have an assumption but curious what others opinions are.

This is a Hitachi made Power5 CPU.
Hitachi licenced IBM mainframe technology like the z800 System Z and RS/6000, as the Japanese market was more encline to purchase from national manufacturers than from IBM.

This goes in the Hitachi SR11000 Super Technical Server

Very very cool, and rare.

Thanks Aberco,

I assumed a power 5 due to its similarity to my other power 5.

But the other information is quite helpful.

Cool MCM!
I've been looking for a Power 5 in white ceramics for my collection for a long time.

Where did you find this? I expect that they would be elusive outside of Japan

It was one of those I know a guy who knows a guy situation some years ago.

I have another Hitachi MCM/TCM from the same connection.

Very neat! Even has pins instead of pads.

The other Hitachi item, and a group photo on my side desk.

Woooah, that is one amazing MCM collection. Love the 3D printed holders, I just have all of mine sitting on a shelf haha. I've seen those smaller white ceramic ones before, no idea what they are, but the dies being on interposers looks a lot like some big Hitachis I have.
