Hehe, get a fine tweezer and a bit of patience, those pins bend easily but they are tought to break completly... Done on cuntless pins of refurbished CPUs...

Yeah took me about half an hour and a really aching hand afterwards but it worked!

Thanks a lot guys.

Hello guys,

First post for me on Vogons.

I was talking about old hardware, presenting one of my last CPU :

SteveC says I should help improve CPU-Z vintage edition. So here's my result with this CPU, and another one (AMD K5 PR100ABQ, SSA/5 core).

Hope it helps.
Vincent

Hi, nice CPU rarity, please could you also run my CPUID program and send log (use redirect stdio to file: cpuid >log.txt)

Hi Vincent, glad you made it over here 😀

Thank you, it looks identified good.

Hi Rayer,

Could you check the easter egg on this processor as described here :

https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/MP6/index.html

My CPU has a Lynx core (350nm), and the easter egg is only stated in the previous revision Kirin (350nm)

No, Lynx is 180nm and Kirin is 250nm, see https://cpumuseum.jimdofree.com/museum/rise-technology/mp6/

Yep, you're right. I was tired when I wrote this message.

I added easter egg reading in new version of CPUID ( http://rayer.g6.cz/programm/programe.htm#CPUID )

Really nice piece of hack. Now imagine what could contain other CPUs. Remember that OS security fully rely on uncomprimised HW. And now you could have a CPU that would allow e.g. execution of some privileged (CPL0) instruction from user mode (CPL3) if the right magic is filled somewhere. Such feature need not to be hardwired in the silicon but can be deployed in microcode (that is ecrtypted blob who nobody except CPU manufacturer understands) for specific target (e.g. for PCs in Iran nuclear plants). Really fun can be done in HW...

This is what cpuz is showing in the log file

Probably and it's also saying Socket 5 rather than Socket 7. Franck will probably want the CPUZ save file.

Yes it is. I'll fix it.
Thanks for the help.
