Networker @konkretor, who loves silicon chips, shared photos on social platform X and wrote, "I think this is the rarest x86 CPU, worth collecting."
Foreign media Tom's Hardware believes that this Rise mP6 266 processor is not as unfamiliar as it is to say it is quite a cold door. It started for five years and was launched in 1998, but Rise Technology withdrew from the CPU business the following year in 1999.
From the main picture (left) we can see that the Rise mP6 266 CPU is installed on the Huawei P5A-B Super Socket 7 motherboard. The Huawu motherboard adopts the ALi Aladdin V chipset, supporting a wide range of x86 CPU manufacturers, including Intel Pentium MMX, AMD K6 series, Cyrix MII and IDT WinChip. The motherboard also supports ultra-frequency, as well as AGP2X, three PCI slots and two ISA slots.
Another image (right) is a Rise mP6 CPU specification sheet, such as the core voltage is 2.832V. Despite the high voltage, the standard, the temperature and the lower heat design power consumption (TDP is 8.54W), and most of the conditions are passive heat dissipation to be used to deal with it.
This Rise mP6 266 processor is manufactured by Telco and produced with a 250-nanometer process. There is very little related information, but the Internet can also find high-level models 333MHz and 366MHz product data sheets, as well as simple Wikipedia data.
konkretor revealed that the Rise mP6 266 CPU is not unique, it is a brand new old inventory purchased from an eBay account in China a few years ago.
Interestingly, when searching for Rise mP6 266 chips, it accidentally flipped into Taiwan's ithome news in 1998. At that time, in terms of mP6 design concept, it specially emphasized the multimedia performance, and the three MMX commands for the implementation of the management line of the architecture design are more than two Pentium II. mP6-266 purchase orders are $70, mP6-233 is $60, and mP6-166 is $50.
