Re: Rarest CPUs?

In 93 and 94 maybe, many more P60 selling... but then I wonder if they had a glut of P66 and they got sold off cheap enough for a lot of people with 60 to spring for a 66 in 95 or so, putting a lot of P60s on shelves, and then again when the Socket 4 overdrive came out. Because I think the …

Re: Rarest CPUs?

Sometimes I wonder why there are so many P60 to find at all since socket 4 must have been a dead end right from the beginning. For "no-compromise" workstations or servers maybe, albeit at the compromise of not going all the way to 66 MHz, which was probably crazily more expensive? I’ve often …

Re: Rarest CPUs?

The NS486SXL is not related to the TI486SXL (which is 386DX pin compatible). It has a 16-bit external bus. The reason for the 132-pin package is because it seems to integrate the motherboard chipset. It's advertised as a "system on a chip". It's also "protected mode only". No real mode or virtual …

Re: Rarest CPUs?

One of the rarest x86 processors. It's almost impossible to find. Tested? Working? Couldn’t prove it by me, I thought all of the oldest off brand DLC laptops had those strange MC labeled CPUs inside. I never knew Eagle had a fab (or an x86 license), so I wonder where these chips really came from.
