A rare Intel engineering sample from the twilight of the Pentium 4 era has surfaced on social media. We’ve never seen this 4.0 GHz chip before. On Reddit, the current owner of the purported Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 980 processor, data-analytics-id=”inline-link” href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/1nloltl/found_this_intel_extreme_edition_980_engineering/” data-url=”https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/1nloltl/found_this_intel_extreme_edition_980_engineering/” target=”_blank” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” data-hl-processed=”none”>diegunguyman, has shared photos of the chip, both front and back, along with a CPU-Z screenshot for some deeper technical details. Due to quirks with the CPU-Z app/online database, this CPU won’t validate correctly.
