Archaeologists Unearth Prehistoric Pentium Chip
This stunningly well preserved archaeological find was dug up from the frozen tundra near Tappleytown, Canada. The processor measures about 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) square. Carbon dating tests indicate an origin in the Permian period. The CPU is believed to have once run an operating system called
DimetroDOS, a forerunner of CP/M and, in turn, Windows 7. The complete structure is, of course, entirely made of wood. It appears to be an early from of particle-board -- an amalgamation of many wood chips -- leading to speculation the processor may have been highly multi-core in nature. Scientists continue to dig in the area searching for traces of a mainboard.
