CPU question

maybe a stupid question, but I am uneducated on the "higher grade" cpu's and just starting to get my hands on them.



yesterday I got a AMD AM486 DX4-100. I'm not sure if it goes with the AMD ceramic, or the intel 486?? it has a pretty gold cap.

Thanks!

is it a 100 mhz ? looks like an older style cpu, I haven't had much experience with AMDs tho, but if it's a 100 mhz, definitely an older one

It came out of an old computer. How do I know the mhz? I don't see mhz anywhere on the back but here's all the #'s: am486 dx4-100 a80486dx4=100nv8t b 9530gpk t... that would be great if it goes with the 486. my confusion was that it technically looks like an amd ceramic but it has a gold cap...

ok and also along the same lines, I have a pentium 486 that appears to be soldered to a green fiber backing... no heatsink. Is this one also a 486? if these two together are the $!33 per pound then I am one happy kid!!

Red, if it is an AMD 486 it goes in with the Intel 386/486 chips. They are going for around 130.00/lb right now.

I found a odd old chip, its a standard long flat rectangular black IC with legs each side, Its a 3 piece IC body, sorta ceramic like slabs with a glue in between. Sandwich like.

Its got this written on it.

IV4836 IX @IGT
10c LH/LL Link
88.43% $400

Theres another chip that came with it,

P8032 AH
l4179779
Intel 1980

I'm just interested because it sez {$400}.... & {88.43%}
Makes me think its a limited run, individually tested & worth a bit... hopefully. The {LH/LL} link bits interesting too.

photos might help. I've seen lots of labels that were printed by computer shops/stores
