You are buying TWO processors from the same consecutive production
sequence — one STILL FACTORY SEALED, one clean inspected pull.THE TOP SPEC OF THE ENTIRE PENTIUM PRO LINE:
• 200 MHz — the highest speed grade Intel ever shipped for Socket 8
• 1MB full-speed on-die L2 cache — dual-die MCM (CPU die + cache die),
NOT the common 256K/512K variant
• Highest gold content of any mainstream 1990s CPU (~0.33g per unit) —
which is exactly why so few survive intact; most were meltedWHAT'S INCLUDED:
• UNIT 1: FACTORY SEALED — original Intel yellow ESD bag, package seal
INTACT. "Do not break seal prior to usage" seal unbroken. Assembly
marks: San Jose, L7513847-01XX, © INTEL '94. Never opened. Ever.
• UNIT 2: clean inspected pull. Gold pins straight, no corrosion or
bends (photographed in detail). Will ship in a new anti-static
shield — original packing was not retained, which is reflected in
the pair price.THE COLLECTOR ANGLE:
Both units carry sequential lot/serial codes from the same Intel San
Jose production run — the codes are marked on the silicon itself, so
the matched provenance is photographable and permanent. Consecutive
pairs with one unit still sealed essentially never come to market.CONDITION:
• Unit 1: sealed — sold as a sealed collectible; its value IS the
unbroken seal
• Unit 2: excellent cosmetic condition, pins verified — sold untested
beyond visual inspection (standard for 30-year-old silicon)
• AS-IS, no warranty implied on either unitSHIPPING: Double-boxed. Sealed unit sandwiched in rigid foam inside
an anti-static shield. Insured, signature confirmation. I pack these
like the irreplaceable artifacts they are.Vintage CPU collectors: there is ONE of these pairs. When it's gone,
the sealed half of this production run is gone with it.
