amd's rev F3 silicon

[Amey]

Excellent chip you got there Ozzimark. Any particular way to spot an F3 chip ?
OPN or particular model or something ?

The first part of the stepping will end in a "F". For example: MCBBF

that applies to all the 90nm am2 chips. my old sempron is LBBVF (it's still revF after all, just F2 instead of F3)

the difference is in the OPN
single core F3's end in DH, like mine
the dual cores use CZ

go to stepping and select "F3", then open another window and check out F2, notice the difference

just for the heck of it put it down to stock speeds to see how much i could undervolt it, right now i am running orthos at 0.96v and load is 30-33c on air
