Surtr is a thermal test chip used during early development of the Oban CGPU. It is not a real CPU but just a dummy load to generate heat.

Details

The die is smaller and rotated 90 degrees versus Oban. While physically similar to Oban, the pinout is entirely different making it electrically incompatible with any motherboard. Little else is known about Surtr.
