Feast thine eyes upon my newest CPU...

That's cool. I would either cut the pic down, or edit that post to have a 56k warning. Luckily for me, my 40 Mbit connection didn't seem to mind!

I've still got an 8088 around here somewhere.

I sure hope so. I've thought more than once about making a keychain out of some of them.

why do i find this funny?
 
At work we smashed the black ceramic coating around an old Pentium Pro chip. It was pretty cool to see the actual silicon.. and the little whisker wires joining it to the substrate.
 
Nice, Felix. I used to have one... don't know if I still do, but I pulled it out of a Trash-80. 😀 I've also seen these BITD on some SCSI RAID cards.

Thanks. 🙂

These might be the baseball cards of the future.

The TRS-80 had an 8088 processor, IIRC.

Yes. I think it wasnt carefully extracted. But it was only $10. A perfect one probably goes for more - if you can find one.
