Amd steppings and what they mean.........

Didn't I have some quad ES'es with GA or something in the middle...? (they're not here with me atm, so I can't check... I will post when the dude who borrows them has thrown them into his socket F mobo:) )

I can clarify the four letter code a tad:

Example: WPMW

Quote:

---

First Letter:
A/R = Monday
B/S = Tuesday
C/T = Wednesday
D/U = Thursday
E/V = Friday
F/W = Saturday
G/X = Sunday

---

So we can see that WPMW was made on a Saturday.

I can't remember what the second letter means, WPMW

The third letter is batch number, A=1, B=2, etc, M=mixed. WPMW = mixed batch.

The fourth letter as a W means that the chip came from Malaysia :up::yepp:, if it's not present the chip came from Chine:down::shakes: WPMW - EDIT: Regardless of where it came from, chips missing the W at the end don't clock worth a damn in general.

I might be a tad off, it's been a LONG time since I learnt these :)

If thats right...

Many good steppings are made on Monday :) A/R first letter.

Opteron 146 did start with A the first good ones that did come out.
Opteron 165-185 LCBQE 0722 RPAW the best ones i have seen of 165-185

965BE C3 APMW 0944


But some another days are good to :) , more lucky draw i think....but if i have to chose FPMW or RPAW i will easy pick RPAW or something like APMW instead of FPMW.

and what about my? EPMW 0942 ? :) Ouch,friday, people want go home from working :(...hope, its not true :-D

People go home, not machines though :D My 3.92GHz FX-55 and Before's 4.2GHz FX-57 are Saturday chips.

0942FPMW is bad i dont know how 0942EPMW will do compair to FPMW but i fear its about same....

0933 and 0944 Looks best know for 965BE C3 and after that 0941, last 0942

I have 955BE - 0915 BPBW and seems that it is great. 4.4GHz on air even if it isn't made on Monday :p:

What should BPBW (3rd letter) stand for?
M = mixed
B = ? (binned :D)
