A first quick and dirty die-shot of the PS5 APU (better SWIR image will follow). It looks like some Zen 2 FPU parts are missing.

There will be no more pictures of the Via Centaur Something went wrong and the chip lost its colors. The chip looked quite good in the meantime and could even have been put under the microscope but my impatience and the urge for perfection drove me to etch the chip again.. 1/2

That Golden Finger Device works pretty well on the Athlon K7 500 (Argon core with 250µm, binned at 650, sold as 500). 900MHz is semi-stable and bootable into DOS @1 .95V. More voltage results in more instability... The resistors on the device get quite warm🧐 #AMD #Retro #Athlon

I am completely surprised by sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3). Have never used it to etch microchips but together with H2O2 this gives me amazing easy etching results. GP100 was etched with it and Athlon64 with SOI process works also well.🙀

Hello little Argon 500, would you like to reach 1Ghz? Not sure at all how much such an argon can achieve. I am very curious to find out. Hope a cloned golden finger device with a water block helps. Vcore goes up to 2.05V

The Nx686 is the successor and was demonstrated in October 1995, but never reached the market. AMD bought NexGen and after a redesign the Nx686 appeared as AMDs K6. It would be nice to see what the Nx686 prototype looks like from the inside. We will probably never know.
