Frequently Asked Questions
What socket configuration does this processor use?
The A80502100 uses a 296-pin staggered pin grid array (SPGA) designed for Socket 5 and Socket 7 motherboards engineered to supply 2.9V core voltage.
What is the condition of this processor, and is it operational?
This unit is sold strictly untested and as-is for gold recovery, scrap, or vintage display. It exhibits bent pins around the perimeter, and no electrical or functional testing has been performed.
Before gigahertz clocks and flip-chip silicon, computing power was forged in purple ceramic and real gold wire. Whether it heads to a collector display or the refining crucible, this Pentium has finished its run on the motherboard.
