It's not a chip, is it?

It's hard to believe that something that big and well placed and defined is just a chip. Thought I had something.

Thanks.

Yep, just a die chip. The heavy flow lines are a good sign that the die was coming close to the end of its life span. Chips can be present on new dies as well but are much more common on heavily worn dies.
