A headpat to anyone who can solve what this is!

[Kenji the Uke]

This is in my Computer Software classroom, and they have some epic pieces of technology. I already posted a piece in Exotic Cooling, and the instructor challenged this great forum. 

 

Try and guess what this is, and its specifics! First person to guess it wins one wholesome headpat!

If this is from an actual computer, then it looks like an array of core memory.

its a dust filter leaning against a wall

Spoiler

i prefer back pats

I am going to guess it is some sort of large heat dissipation since it kind of looks like come sort of copper? There're two wires or so going to the third pane down on the right if I'm not mistaken as well

[TechyBen]

Magnetic core memory (as above). Way before my time. Nice spot.

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

As said above looks like core memory

[Coaxialgamer]

Yep , that's core mem !

Zooming in  reveals the small ferrous löops

though i am a bit confused about the layout here ..usually the memory arrays are placed next to each other to form a cube , not a panel.

[Kenji the Uke]

Yep! Good job! Its definitely memory! But! How much memory is it? :3

Ass pull guess is 4K.

 

I mean, that's a lot of pixels you're asking us to count.

That Ass-Pull-Guess almost got you there!

Pictures are a bit blurry , but each square matrix seems to be 64*64 löops , meaning 4Kb per grid , with a total of 16 squares , that means a grand total of 64kbits on the entire panel.

Overshot!

Then my second guess is 16Kbits given i can't quite see the loops

I mean come on man...

 

[Kenji the Uke]

I’ll give it to you guys for trying. 

 

@Coaxialgamer;Gently patted their head; uwu

 

@M.Yurizaki ;Also gently patted their head;

 

The answer is 8K.  :3

Dammit !

So close !

If I had to take a guess... 4096 bits. But that was already guessed so I'm probably wrong Very cool piece of tech though

 

Rip I was answering while the answer was being put into the thread.
