The POWER5 MCM you are showing here has four CPUs and four L3 caches with anywhere from 36MB to 144MB each. A single POWER5 CPU has two cores and two independent L2 caches. The number on the side of the MCM is actually the serial number. The green coating on the cache chips is actually a passivation coating, something other than the silicon nitride more commonly used for passivation; I wouldn't know why they would had used a different passivation material. That MCM has 4,491 signal I/Os and the CPUs have 89 metal layers.

Impressive build and teardown, as usual on this channel! What I'm still left wondering is how the ceramic substrate for the eight dies is constructed. The dies seem to be flip-chipped, but are they soldered or glued? And how is such a massive ceramic substrate made? Would be interesting to see a cross-section of it under a microscope...

If I remember right, these are the power contacts to the CPU power converter. 1.5 Volts and a hundreds of amps. There are also other power contacts but they can't be seen so well.

I wouldn't mind having a POWER5 system one of these days; around the last couple years of production of the POWER5 line they made some workstations based around one or two CPUs which ran either AIX or Windows NT.
