2.85 GHZ quad core CPU

[miketx]

My old computer died a while back and I was cleaning up my play room and found this. I took it off the dead mother board just to keep it. It's really amazing that this thing can do what it does, whatever it is that it does!

Ooook.

 

[miketx]

Ooook.

Que?

 

[waltky]

Is it Intel or AMD?

 

[miketx]

AMD.

 

[Marion Morrison]

What is it? Phenom IIx4 945?

 

[miketx]

What is it?

It is the Central Processing Unit (CPU) out of an HP Computer I had.

 

[Marion Morrison]

Phenom 2 x4 935.

Unless it's an Opteron.

 

[miketx]

No it dates from around 2007.

1024 pins or so? Each one of those connects into a unique circuit node. Many could be GND or Power Supply but many are 32/64 bit input/outpt address bus or address/mode select pins. 2007 is old, amazing it worked at all. Many pins could bu un-used, planning ahead ........ package ready for bigger better.

Looks like an AMD pin out. Maybe this one:
Pins: 940 Layout: 31x31 mPGA Voltage: Auto VRM Supported Processors: AMD Athlon 64FX, Opteron Class: AMD K8

I give up, what is it? Early Phenom x4?

Most AMD chips in 2007 were 2-core, except Opterons and Phenom Is.

All I know is it was in my HP desktop and it's a 2.85 GHZ quad core processor. I just put it on here for people who may have never seen a CPU before. Maybe it was 2008, I can't recall.

Maybe turn it over, clean it off, and read what it says?

Oh! Ya can do dat?

I am not going to look at that pic and and count to see if it has 939 vs 940 pins.

When it is from 2007/2008, is AMD, has four cores and has 2,85 Ghz, it does not fit to any product line.

- Pins look like AMD, Intel didn´t use pins anymore.
- 2007/8 AMD Quad cores are Phenoms and go up to 2,6 Ghz.

So what stands on top of the CPU?
