    Anyone know what the significance of the A is? Most other CPUs in this thread have a B in that place.
    Different cpu wafer, production sample. CPU production is divided in unequal wafers as their lifecycle advance.


    In a perfect world, all end-users would get a production sample from the inner parts of the wafer, as they have the least flaws.
    As you get to the outer area of the wafer the % increases, although Intel has a limit of "fault tolerance" for each batch.
