I need some creative help I bought this CPU to drill a hole in and use as a key chain but its a little bigger than I thought 5.5cm x 5.5cm.

 

Its a Intel A80501-60

-60mhz clock speed

-800nm architecture 

-4.75V-5.25V core voltage

 

Any ideas for projects I could do with this.

That core voltage and transistor lithography.

Find the voltage pins, attach aligator clips to a positive pin and a ground pin. Find an old car battery, put the other ends on the car battery. Watch the sparks fly and fires start.

 

But in reality, I'd probably remove the pins and put it in a glass frame.

Actually... Celerons were introduced in 1998. Pentiums date back to about 1993.

Well the Pentium 3 anyway. That was released in 1999. I meant to say Pentium 3 but said Pentiums
