Silicon Wafer 6 " - Rare Vintage MIPS FPU R3010 From 1988.
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:963660 |
One rare MIPS (FPU) Floating Point Unit wafer for sale. This early one has a large die size. Later versions were fabricated with much smaller dies.
Designed as a co-processor for the R3000/R3000A CPUs theR3010 monitors system bus, and when it encountersfloating-point instruction it loads it into 6-stage pipeline, wherethe instruction is decoded and executed.
For instruction executionthe FPU utilizes three calculation units: Addition/Subtraction, Multiplic...ation and Division. Operations in these units can beperformed concurrently, which allows the co-processor
to execute upto three different instructions at the same time.
Colors will change dramatically depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions. Photos were taken with flash or under standard incandescent room light. Photomicrographs were made using halogen lights.
I've got a wide selection of other wafers in my store.
Please note that I do not ship outside the 48 states and thanks for looking!
