K10 Scores starting to surface

[informal]

Thanks.... typically enterprise chips are the cream of the crop. Though there is some ambiguity in the stepping represented here, it doesn't look like CPUID has been updated with the CPUID string/look up table to designate stepping yet... so if this is B1 as some are postulating, then this is the launch stepping is it not?

This is of course proceeding under the assumption that this data is factual and not made up, back alley leaks like these deserve a healthy dose of skepticism.

A small number of people really knows what is the launch stepping...
There is one more possibility,apart from EVTs,the boards weren't up to the task(ie early BIOS,some features turned down just to be safe in order to test the early chips for various reasons)
