I have uploaded new CPU photos to picasa recently. The most interesting new CPUs was IBM TCM module (XA architecture and the biggest CPU I have probably), dual core Freescale MPC8641D, Philips 68070 and Digital StrongARM SA-110S for me. However, others had their part in CPU history and I am happy to have them too. I didn't have ARM architecture for a long time and that was fixed with StrongARM and Cirrus Logic EP7211-EB-D. Intel i860 family augmented with three new CPUs (all of them are i860 XR). I liked Hitachi HD68HC000Y12 (Motorola 68000 clone). My DEC PDP-11 was replaced with newer one which had newer date code and newer revision. You can find several non standard chips like Broadcom BCM7315KPB single-chip satellite set-top decoder, secure communication processor and ATM network controller whose have MIPS cores at their heart. There are a number of new PowerPC CPUs too (, . That is all for now but I'll have more in the future (Motorola XC88110, IBM PowerPC G5 (970FX, 970MP), AMD AU1550-333, Motorola PPC755ARX400LB and Motorola MC68000RC8). I planning to make a break on collecting as I need to save money for other purposes.
