Very cool that this would be on the front page after I picked up a Pentium-75 from my local recycler today, it's an SX969. I can hold this chip in my hand and look up to see Ken's die shots. So cool! The ceramic package these Pentiums came in are pretty unique as well - it kind of sounds like setting a piece of glass down when I set the CPU on my desk. | ||

That Pentium is the 80502, so it's almost the same as the one in my article except that it is built with 600 nm technology instead of 800 nm and it has 200,000 more transistors. It's easy to knock the lid off the package with a chisel if you want to see the die inside. |
