Neither 63 or 83. In the picture I see a socket 5 Pentium Overdrive so I'm guessing it'll be in the 125MHz or 133MHz regions. You can ID the chip by removing the fan from the heatsink.

And the rest of us would be carousing the aisles, stuffing baloney.

Thandor is correct. Looks like a s5 Pentium Overdrive (without MMX).
The chip appears to already have been sold.

damn, yhea, it was me. i got excited and grabbed it before looking into it. I just assumed it was for socket 3. they look identical. I should of checked the pins I guess.

seeing as socket 5 can take a 120mhz I'm surprised they even bothered with a 125mhz one.

They don't look identical, even when looking at the top of the chip 😜
The bottom side will give away which chip it is, though maybe not always the exact speed.

The 120MHz was 2*60MHz FSB and the 125MHz POD was probably meant as a drop-in replacement for the 75MHz Pentium (50MHz*1.5). It was mostly marketing I guess and perhaps for people who did want an upgrade but couldn't be bothered to reset a few jumpers or something 😜
