Intel will fuse the serial number onto the chip using "well-known
technologies." This allows them to number only the good chips, as they can
fuse the chip after it is tested.

Subject: Re: Pentium III...

Does anyone know the mechanism Intel plans to use to put the infamous
serial
numbers on Pentium III chips? I wasn't aware that Pentiums had any
non-volitaile memory (other than ROM) on board. The only practical systems
I
can think of is to use a fuse or laser repair type scheme.
