Intel Pentium "P54CS" Processor Keychain (1995)
Item # 160
This Intel Pentium Processor, version P54CS, operated at speeds of 133, 150, 166 and 200 MHz.
It featured a 16 KB L1 cache, which significantly improved data access speeds, enhancing overall system performance.
It contained 3.3 million transistors, measured 90 mm2 and was fabricated in a 0.35 µm BiCMOS process.
The P54CS was part of the Pentium family, which played a critical role in popularizing personal computing in the mid-90s. It was known for its reliability and performance, helping to drive the shift from 486 processors to the Pentium line in both consumer and business environments.
The Pentium P54CS cpu was widely used in desktop computers and laptops, powering everything from home PCs to business workstations. Its performance capabilities made it popular for gaming and multimedia applications during its time. Its introduction coincided with the rise of multimedia applications, making it well-suited for tasks such as video playback and graphics rendering.
New in sealed package.

Intel 486DX2 "Intel Die Products" Embedded CPU Keychain (1995)
Item #111
This Intel i486 CPU Keychain was a marketing giveaway during Comdex when Intel was promoting the i486 processor for embedded operations long after it's use as a competitive Desktop processor had ended.
The i486's lengthy lifespan lasted from it's release in 1989, until it's end in 2007.
The die encapsulated in this keychain is an actual Intel 486DX2 chip. The back reads "Die Products- The Ultimate Package".

Intel Smithsonian Anniversary Pentium Keychain (1996)
Item #060 (#095, 114, 117, 211-214 similar)
.
This keychain was a promotion for Intel's role as a corporate sponsor of the celebration of the Smithsonian's 150th anniversary.
The keychains were given to tour guests for the "America's Smithsonian", a traveling exhibit of Smithsonian Icons on a two-year 12-city tour starting in Los Angeles in Feb. 1996. Intel was a major corporate sponsor of the exhibit and had launched an ad campaign to go with this tour.
The campaign included television and print ads & was Intel first attempt at corporate image advertising, The Intel ads tried to paint a positive portrait of the Intel corporate character rather than sell the company's microprocessors or motherboards for personal computers.
Solid bronze keychain with mounted Intel Pentium Computer Chip on face and covered in enamel. Measures 1 1/4" square. Back reads "PROUD PARTNER - 1996 Smithsonian".

Intel Pentium II "Slot 1 Cartridge" Chip Keychain (1997)
Item #051
This is the original Pentium II (233/266/300Mhz) that was codenamed for the Oregon river "Klamath", Intel officially released the Pentium II in May of 1997.
But the most controversial debate was over Intel's apparent decision to lock out its rivals AMD and Cyrix from following in its footsteps, as AMD and Cyrix had done in creating the K5 and 6x86 chips to compete with the Pentium.
The slot 1 interface designed for the Pentium II was patented by Intel, all but assuring that the other two companies would not use it for their new CPUs. This has led to a firestorm of criticism from PC users concerned about competition, upgrade-ability and other issues. With AMD and Cyrix deciding to stick with Socket 7, the market was basically "split".
P6 Pentium Pro Processor Chip details: .35 micron circuit size, CMOS process technology, 203 (mm^2) Die Size, 7.5 million transistors, processor speeds ( (233/266/300Mhz).
Sleek design Gold plated keychain.
