Fair warning, there were some minor casualties in today's board delamination. A little slip of the knife at 300° C is all it took to smear some of these chips right off the board. We blame our robot intern. Here are some of the bits he managed to salvage:

128 GB of Kioxia NAND flash memory

STMicroelectronics STB601A power management IC

Qualcomm's SDR865 5G and LTE transceiver, SDX55M 5G modem-RF system, and SMR526 intermediate frequency IC

USI 339S00761 WLAN / Bluetooth module

Avago 8200 high/mid-band power amplifier with integrated duplexer

Murata 1XR-482 mmWave front-end module

Looking for that sweet, sweet A14 chip with 6 GB of layered memory? Keep reading for a detailed look at the rest of the board.
