So I bought the cheapest AM486 DX5 133 from ebay, and it arrived... At first I thought what the heck is this, they sent the wrong chip!
But the markings really say am486dx5-133v16bhc , it is the embedded version 🤣
What can I do with this? I don't know if I can install this in a socket 3 motherboard.
That is a genuine 5x86, but unfortunately no use to most people. They are often found on upgrade adapters.

Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.
You can make PCB adapter, similar to how embedded 386DX40 were made:
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
Yep, you would need to solder that to a custom QFP to PGA adapter and I've not seen one for that layout before. Were any 486 motherboards sold with soldered-on processors that were not PGA chips?

Where any 486 motherboards sold with soldered-on processors that were not PGA chips?
486SX mostly.
Also Kingston upgrade module (5x86 with VRM) use embedded version.

Cool, I did not know these package converters existed. Does look like a challenge for someone with my soldering skills 😀

I don't know any motherboards that had them soldered on, but there were a few adapters that used them.

I've seen several industrial boards with them yeah
