There is a character in William Gibson’s book Pattern Recognition, Cayce Pollard who has a very interesting fashion style. Cayce is brand sensitive and wears clothes that are essentially brand-less.
“CPUs. Cayce Pollard Units. That’s what Damien calls the clothing she wears. CPUs are either black, white, or gray, and ideally seem to have come into this world without human intervention.
What people take for relentless minimalism is a side effect of too much exposure to the reactor-cores of fashion. This has resulted in a remorseless paring-down of what she can and will wear. She is, literally, allergic to fashion. She can only tolerate things that could have been worn, to a general lack of comment, during any year between 1945 and 2000. She’s a design-free zone, a one-woman school of anti whose very austerity periodically threatens to spawn its own cult.” - excerpt from Pattern Recognition

I wonder why we keep this........I don't think it will ever be used again ;-)
Had to check.....it's a 3,4 GHz CPU, from our last computer......
Hardwired data bus with 0xEA, the NOP instruction / No operation = do nothing command. The Arduino pro micro is providing a very slow 2Hz clock (that's Hz not MHz) and displaying the lower 8 bits of the address bus on an oled.
The CPU is looking at 0xFFFC and 0xFFFD for the start address. The hardwired 0xEA appears on the address bus (0xEAEA is therefore the start address) and then it fetches the instruction (another 0xEA, the no-operation NOP) runs the NOP instruction and increments the address to 0xEAEB, fetches the next instruction, 0xEA (always 0xEA) and carries on forever.
Next, I need to point the data bus to some RAM or ROM... ideally both but lets not get carried away.
CPU overclockers doing their magic!
For my friend 'middle-man' Manos, the greatest pc guru alive! ;-)
(running CPUs on liquid nitrogen, flamers, fluids to get them running beyond their design limits)
if you look at full size ('all sizes') you can see VERY tiny dots either in center or off-center on all of the gold circle pads. I assume this is from the factory test 'bed of nails' which would test each cpu and have to touch each pad to be able to do that.
the resolution of this camera (fz30) could show the tiniest indentation due to the bed-o-nails tester!
shot was taken by pany fz30 on a tripod, standard lens, HDR processing, using home made lightbox.
