Once you've got the chip removed (which is non-trivial) you then have to prepare it to be resoldered, which would require re-balling in the case of a BGA pinout

Once you've got the chip removed (which is non-trivial) you then have to prepare it to be resoldered, which would require re-balling in the case of a BGA pinout. This is beyond the scope of what a maker/hobbyist could do.
- justinclift 10y agoDon't people do that with converted toaster ovens?
- dekhn 10y agoYes. This sort of thing is classic maker, and if you bought the chips from Intel directly you'd still have to integrate them onto a board.
- Gracana 10y agoRe-balling is possible for hobbyists, but it's an extra tricky step that you'd need to do. Why bother when you can buy a nice ARM SoC?
