Product Overview
Operating at 200 MHz on the Intel P6 microarchitecture, KB80521EX200 incorporates 256 KB of dedicated on-package Level 2 cache running at full core speed. Engineered for Socket 8 server and workstation platforms, the processor is housed in a 387-pin ceramic pin grid array multi-chip module sealed with a heavy gold-plated copper heat spreader.
Key Features
- Intel P6 microarchitecture running at 200 MHz core clock
- 256 KB on-package Level 2 cache operating at core frequency
- 66 MHz front-side bus interface with 3x multiplier
- 387-pin ceramic pin grid array (CPGA) package for Socket 8
- Dual-cavity multi-chip module construction with gold-plated heat spreader
- 3.3V nominal core supply voltage and 35W thermal design power
Applications
- Reclaiming precious metals from gold-bearing vintage ceramic CPU packaging and pin fields.
- Straightening damaged pins for bench testing and Socket 8 retrocomputing restoration.
- Displaying as a collector reference piece representing early multi-chip module packaging.
- Harvesting as an engineering artifact from mid-1990s server architecture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which motherboard socket is required for this processor?
This processor installs into a Socket 8 interface, standard on mid-to-late 1990s server and workstation motherboards.
What cache configuration does the SY013 specification feature?
The SY013 sSpec features 256 KB of on-package Level 2 cache running at the full 200 MHz core processor frequency.
What condition is this processor in, and is it functional?
This unit is sold untested and AS-IS with multiple bent pins across the underside pin grid array and surface scuffs on the gold lid. Photos are of the actual unit. It is offered for precious metal scrap recovery, pin repair, or collector display.
The Pentium Pro was a monument of mid-nineties computing, marrying the core processor and full-speed cache beneath a heavy gold-plated lid. Whether bound for precious metal recovery or a steady hand with a mechanical pencil on the pins, this ceramic block represents workstation hardware at its most uncompromising.
