cpu An amazing cpu,i can’t find anything about it

[iwkai]

有人知道吗？
互联网上什么都没有。 
这是2015cpu。 

它的价格是8美元。 
它有4核，没有主板支持此cpu，可能需要进行魔术更换。
就像ltt在ebay上找到了cpu一样。 
您可以在这款来自中国的应用程序 “ xianyu”中  购买它。

Interesting. Could you post in English?

[Bombastinator]

That’s at least 4 different CPUs.  Maybe 5.  Look at the markings on the pcbs.  They’re all different.

OP says that he found this CPU in chinese ebay. Its sold for $8 and it doesnt work on motherboards he tried. 

OP: we cant suggest anything if it doesnt even boot, interesting enough it doesnt have the SMD components under cpu dies AND cores are on seperate dies, which is interesting.

Any links to Aliexpress\Alibaba at least ? Posting a wall of chinese text on english-language forum doens't help much.

Sorry the google translate translated English to Chinese. 
I writer this article with English......

Heh. My guess is he got snookered.  It’s not actually a cpu.  It’s a cpu shaped thing designed to make money for the seller.  Someone got ahold of some pin base pcbs for a few cents apiece, and some heat shields and glued little blocks to it for the photo.  There is zero anticiliary stuff.  None.

I don’t think so,there are thousand of this cpu are on sale

[iwkai]

It’s anyone knows. 
It’s an 2015 inter cpu with 4 cores. 
it costs 8 dollars

[Juular]

So there's 100k pieces and no-one tried to analyze the die to see if it's actually a microchip or just a hotplate ?

因此，有10万个芯片，没有人试图分析该芯片以查看它实际上是微芯片还是仅仅是电炉？

I don’t know,I can’t find anything about it

That's exactly what a scam would look like. Make lots of fake chips for a couple of $ each and sell them for $70 on eBay... Since it looks like nothing you can dismiss all the "doesn't work" claims with some BS.

[Fasauceome]

This is that a real 9500 looks like

And they're soldered so delidding is a pain

 

The other CPU in your original post has the IHS text on sideways.

 

Both appear to be fake, neither probably works at all

So they’re making a LOT of money?  If it is real it will likely need a special motherboard and possibly also a special OS.  Just because the pins fit in a given socket doesn’t mean they go to the same places.  The thing may be shaped like an am64 but that doesn’t mean it is one.  Also pics already have issues.

8 dollars I would believe as a possible cost of manufacture for a working CPU. Manufacturing a CPU isn’t the expensive bit.  Designing it is.  If the design is stolen, manufacturing cost is the only thing.  This looks to be independently designed though, at least partially.
 

a random scenario:

 Those could just be optically shrunk intel single core zenons for example all clustered on to one chip.  The ridiculously hard part of the design, the single core zenon, would have been done by others.  It would then behave like a really old 4 cpu zenon board (with speed benefits for optical shrinkage) the cpu design would have to be altered to make allowances for the optical shrinkage because power requirements change and some other stuff, but miles cheaper than designing a chip from scratch.  In this situation the pin outs would be totally different.  It’s not a 4 core cpu, it’s a 4 cpu cluster.

I’ll support “probably”. “Definitely” though still out.  What if they’re not trying to copy that.  What if they’re trying to copy this:

这个应该是神经计算处理器

This is my article, you can to watch, maybe it can help you.  Bilibili：https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv4943368

You are in china so you may can see this article.

这个是我自己写的一篇文章，它可能会帮助到你，你应该也是在中国国内的吧，应该可以正常访问b站，不受防火墙限制。

总而言之他可能是个神经计算处理器，而且他的名字soma的翻译应该也能够证实这一点了

[Bombastinator]

There were previous threads on this thing.  One weirdness is it has NO external fuse mounts or anything making some people think it’s a fake chip.  Others commented that it was apparently 4 optically shrunk old style pentium single cores on one die needing its own special motherboard.

Did you even look at the link? Not a CPU at all, just reusing the packaging for a different purpose.
