"some clever chinese people got together and made a socket 7 300 pentium 1 using genuine intel silicon"
I have seen this video some weeks ago and according to the guy they just took genuine Intel Cpus put that golden cover on it and wrote some fake BS on top of it. Regardless that they look cool I don't see how this is more than a scam.

If it works, it's no scam, particularly not if the clearly documented what they did.

There's no native So7 300MHz part from Intel, so there's added value in taking a BGA part and putting it onto So7 package.

it's a "fake" intel release as I explained, but they do work and in fact in creating these they created the fastest REAL socket 7 intel silicon cpu for socket 7 so if they work, it's not a scam in my opinion (in this particular case) just a fake intel release. you still got a working chip with real working intel silicon inside it, in fact it's better than the ones intel did release cause the "real" socket 7 tillamooks needed mods that we didn't figure out until the last year or two some 20 years later so the Chinese fakes were actually your best option for performance intel on socket 7

I think all Tillamooks will run at 300MHz - it's just the internal multi that determines what it will actually do. My 266 rated chip is running at 300MHz (4*75MHz) without issue - I guess that's how these fakes do it too; 4x multi with a 75MHz FSB)

do you have to set 2x on mobo to get 4x on chip? Along with pin jump
