Intel's and AMD's name on the same CHIP!!

[Abhi]

Ok, heres how i found this thing. I was cleaning up the garage and stumbled across an old PC. It was a 286! My first ever computer! Anyway before throwing it away, i decided to take it apart...

There was this odd little chip on the motherboard. I dont exactly understand what this chip is, if it was the CPU of that system or not. Anyway, I ripped it off the mobo. And here it is...

I can't explain it but woah....awaiting conspiracy theorists, disbelievers, people crying photochop etc....maybe even people with insight! :Q

 

[Abhi]

Trust me, its not an edited photo or something....
I have the actual chip ....

I wonder if its of any value ...

AMD was licensed by Intel to make 286 chips. No biggie.

they are really the same company. they give you an illusion of choice when in fact you don't have it.

Yeah I was hoping it would be more interesting!

Hmmm....is still intruiging though....Intel back then thinking "ah these small time nobodies, we can license them to do our bidding....." well look at them now!!

No, it's real.

Billions of year ago there was a site with hundreds of ICs and chips. I remember seeing a similar chip.

WHY do people just throw old computers in the garbage?

HELLO?!?! They're toxic people. Please recycle them.

And.. you killed a perfectly good Am80286/16MHz! :|

For the lazy, check out the heading under 286-12 and look at the pic.

Poor 286 ...it served you well for years and you reward it, like this?

Hey man, that's blazing compared to the 4.77MHz of the i8088. Imagine the possibilities! :Q

brings back memories of the first computer game I played, which was something called Battle Alley I think. It came on two 5 1/4" floppies, and I played it to death on my first computer, which was a Packard Bell 486 good times good times.

You could have probably overclocked that CPU to 17, maybe even 18mhz.

They have an error. There was actually a Slot 1 version of the Celeron 366. I had one. Terrible overclocker.

put it on the FS/T forum or egay

kinda wish i hadn't thrown out my old 286 long ago

the things bloody case weighed like 50+LB or something..heaviest pc i've ever lifted.

I'm OK as long as they give me an illusion that prices fall because of the competition and I can get a kick-ass processor for under $100.
