One of my professional regrets was when I worked at Intel in 1997, I had 30x42 plots of chip dies hanging on the wall in our lab... I wish I had taken some of them and framed them, they were beautiful.
- cebert 3y agoThat would be a nice to frame in an office.
- hotpotamus 3y agoThis reminds me that I meant to pick up some of the wafers sometime. I've seen failures/surplus/whatever for sale on eBay and other places and meant to get one to frame or display as they are impressive in their way.
- samstave 3y agoI had a keychain of a CPU in resin for a long time, Intel would sell them in the gift shop because they were failed prints. Also, in SC5? there was a hallway that had a bunch of plaques from partner companies... and what was awesome was the amount of "Engrish" Some of the comments were along the same line as "for great justice" (if you are aware of that old meme)
- hoc 3y agoGot on of these keychain chips in the late eighties from a friend whose dad worked at IBM. I remember that it came with a comparably cheap key ring clip and that the edges wore off nicely over time. Funny to be reminded of that. Thanks for mentioning.
