Found this on an Australian site. Check out this image of the EYHJA (http://www.techwatch.com.au/image.asp?pic=/tim/tbird.jpg).

I'm surprised no-one elsewhere has seen these chips.

I wonder how it overclocks...

That i believe is a Palamio core, seeing as that is rectangular and not square. So that might explain the new steppings and the core shape, it shoudl overclock well - where did you get the chip that you have/posted.

That is an MP I can see it(the MP that is )! why didn't you buy that for 5bucks more!!! good god man that would have been a sweet deal teh chip was made week 32 of this month so that would be like in august for a 1.4Palmino. nice find too bad you didn't buy it :(

Yeah looks like I stuffed up. And it was actually $5 less!! Ouch!!

I wasn't looking at the detail in the second line, 1.2 MP's used to be more expensive so I didn't even consider this factor.

****es me off to miss out on the Palomino instruction enhancements.
Jeez you would think the seller could have given me more info instead of that idiotic sheepish look.

Don't think I'd buy another 1.4G CPU soon.

I'm not a 100% convinced this chip was a palomino.
Here is a picture of a T/bird chip:

And here is the palomino:

Note that its the Palomino that has the square core shape, not the T-bird.
The EHYJA has the T-bird rectangular shape.

Any comments?

Ya, I think that is a palamino core, as all the t-birds have rectangular cores, then the pally's are more of a square because of the newer features of the chip (ie, larger for more circuitry).

Have another look at this http://www.techwatch.com.au/tim/tbird.jpg

The EYHJ is rectangular = T-bird!

couldn't you just look at the rest of the chip besides the core? it looks to me like the palamino has extra resistors on there on the bottom right that the normal t-bird doesn't have...

Definitely a TBird core.... the only question is how it overclocks.
