I vote Intel should make that into an official socket interface for future CPUs. I want LGA13001, quickly replaced by LGA13002 (the extra 1 pin adds 80 new features).

Installing a motherboard onto a CPU would be a nice twist, indeed.

I don't see how anyone would waste $1000 on something thats useless

I also guarantee intel will not waste their time tracking these chips down

indeed.

What a scam!

I guess xXlAinXx was right. It looks like those picture. Still seems like a loadboard to me. Any of the probers I've seen probed wafers, used blades (probes) that left scrub marks on the die that were tested.

Like this

Loadboards basically serve the same function, but for packaged parts. Again, that's just what I learned at the two semiconductor companies I've worked for, so maybe things are different elsewhere

I'd pay $5... then use it as a coaster... up to $25 for a set of 6 coasters perhaps haha

Looks more like a loadboard for an ATE tester to me.
...
here's a octal site loadboard from my job w/ all the hardware on it to mount to a handler.

The intel one was probably used for test development, since it doesn't look like it's setup for running production testing on.

Oh cool, I used to be an Engineer at Delta. Is that x8 for Matrix?
