How to find stepping?
- Thread starter GeForce
- Start date
GeForce said:Other than looking at the chip surface itself. Can the numbers CPUZ gives you be translated into the stepping of the CPU?
Thanks, sorry for noobish question
Jon
Without an explanation. No.
They should bloomin' make one though
.It's not a noobish question

Agreed, not a noobish question and it is about time Intel/AMD tried to implement this but i reckon due to the amount of wafers used a week in production it would be impossible.
Everytime i buy a new chip, the 1st thing i do is log the stepping somewhere on my pc.Not much help if you have bought a prebuilt machine,granted.
It does only take like 15 mins max to remove the cpu and be up and running again with the info you need.
