Unglaublich! Hewlett Packard hat Mikrochips fabriziert, auf welche sie in unbenutzten Bereichen kunstvoll photolithografische Bildmotive in die Silikonschicht einegearbeitet haben.
Rolex auf H-P Chip :gut:

Auch einen Strand-Konzi Namens "Lorex" haben die H-P Ingenieure auf die Chips geätzt 8o 8o 8o :D

National High Magnetich Fiel Laboratory / "Strand-Konzi" (http://www.micro.magnet.fsu.edu/creatures/pages/dealer.html)
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory / "Rolex" (http://www.micro.magnet.fsu.edu/creatures/pages/rolex.html)
Hier kurzgefasst:
"Several emails from HP engineers Patrick Knebel, Wayne Kever, Craig Robson, and Bob Miller have cleared up the mystery of this con artist. Early HP chipsets included a separate floating-point math coprocessor, and the HP-9000/720 workstations used a Texas Instruments chip that was termed the "Timex" coprocessor. In later microprocessors, HP integrated the floating-point unit onto the CPU die. The PA-7100 microprocessor contains the "Rolex" floating-point circuitry integrated onto the chip, and this advanced circuitry features greater performance than the Timex coprocessor. The clock circuitry was later redesigned to save space (modestly reducing double-precision performance) on the PA-7100LC (Low Cost) processor and the floating point array was then nicknamed "Lorex", a pun on the low-end Rolex. The con artist (designed by HP VLSI design engineer Bob Miller) was placed on the PA-7100LC with a modified Rolex crown that is missing a point (it only has four), to symbolize the cheap Rolex knock-offs, "Lorexes" that he is apparently trying to pawn."
