AMD 9140 AM9140 4k-bit Static RAM Chip Paperweight (1977)
Item #582
From 1970 to 1974, logic chips were the only product that AMD made. In 1975 AMD entered the RAM chip market with their new AM9102 RAM chip.
This rare Lucite paperweight contains another early AMD NMOS manufactured RAM chip, the AMD AM9140 4k-bit (4096 x 1 bit) Static RAM chip. The lid on this chip was not attached so the die and bonded gold wires are viewable. The AMD AM9140 chip contained 27,576 transistors and came in a 22-Pin ceramic & gold Dip package.
In 1977, Advanced Micro Devices licensed American Microsystems, Inc. to build its proprietary 4096-bit MaS static memory family. For an undisclosed sum, AMD provided detailed technical assistance for the design of the AM9130/9140 and related low-power versions. AMD also provided updated information as device improvements were made. These TTL compatible circuits required only +5 V and were organized lK x 4 and 4K x 1. The standard device offered speeds to 200 ns with maximum power dissipation of 550 mW, while the low-power version offers maximum power dissipation of 350 mW with speeds to 250 ns.

AMD 9130 / 9140 RAM ad (1977)
AMD K6-2 3D-Now! Processor (1998) Item #036
The AMD K6-2 was an x86 microprocessor introduced in 1998 at a speed of 266MHz, with speeds eventually reaching 550 MHz. The K6-2 was designed to compete with the Intel Pentium II processor. An enhancement of the original AMD K6, the K6-2 introduced AMD's 3D-Now! technology.
The K6-2 processor was manufactured at AMD's Fab 25 wafer fab in Austin, Texas using a 0.25 micron five-layer-metal process technology using local interconnect and shallow trench isolation, and had 9.3 million transistors.. The AMD-K6-2 processor was available in a 321-ceramic pin grid array (CPGA) package using C4 flip-clip interconnection technology. The K6-2 was a huge financial success for AMD and it helped the company to generate income to develop its next very successful chip, the Athlon. This metal keychain contains an actual AMD K6-2 CPU encased in enamel. AMD released very few computer chip keychains throughout the years, especially compared to Intel, this item is quite rare. New , Unused in original sealed bag.
