Processors..

I have never seen processors like these before, just wondering if anyone else had. I planned to put them on Ebay along with the card they were attached to but i'm struggling to find any old listings so i have no value to put on them. These 2 pictured are damaged but there are 4 still on the board and one larger one which is unidentified. They are set in a green resin with what looks like a gold plated casing on the top aswell. Part number is 37F5671ESD.


This is the board they are from, its quite rich in gold also.



Any ideas on the processor under here?

those pins can be straightened with a little pocket knife. what brand are they? how many MHZ ? i saw an ibm there somewhere, and guessing that's what the machine is. any dates on it ?

Its all IBM, i had posted about the boards seperately in another thread but after following the advice given i still find myself with no solid idea on them all as a whole. I couldn't find any sold listings for any of the models of boards i have.

try a google search instead, you'll likely find places with rediculous prices, or wanting you to "call" for a quote, but still might find info. Just because there's no "sold or completed" listings doesn't mean there may not be any demand, it could merely mean they're very rare

Anyone have an idea on what on what the scrap value of these would be?

about 1/10th of better than scrap? haha, pictures load slow for me, and when I said you can straighten the pins, I was only seeing the second pic, not the top one. I straightened one once that was about that bad, but looked more like a hurricane had hit, yours more resembles a tornado ; )

I found some of those in a large invoice printer from the early 90's I forget what ewasted or barron paid me I think it was counted as an IC chip.

if you find a good buyer let me know please i have around 80 of the same chip i just found

You might be able to scrounge up some info on them at this site: CPU-World: Microprocessor news, benchmarks, information and pictures

I tried to do some google searches and seemed to only find sites that were selling discontinued/refurbed stuff, which I would led me to "request a quote".
You might be able to scounge up some intel (no pun intended) in the forums at cpu-world.
