Opteron code names...

You were more lucky than me then. What stepping?

I've solved the code name confusion really, its cpuz, all the screenshpts of opterons show them as toledo in cpuz.
 
S939 Opterons are either San Diego or Toledo cores. Venus and Denmark would have been the S940 equivalents, but as far as I'm aware never made it to market as AMD decided to shift all their single processor workstation chips to S939.

The core is the physical design of the chip, speedbinning does not effect this.

Some of the retailers are listing their 939 opterons as Denmark cores, i wonder if they have decided to call toledo opterons denmark to differentiate them from toledo x2s? Or is it just the retailers getting it wrong?

I guess its just cpu-z then, because it was reading my Opteron as a Venus core a while back...

They are the same as san-diego's just given a different code to differentiate them, tbh i am not 100% sure,

They must be different if Opteron UPs have a cold bug but clock expectionally well on air.

i am not sure about cold bug, i thought that was due to a newer revision memory controller, iirc san diegos do cold bug?

i think opterons are just chosen from better silicon because they are designed to be cooked up in servers running 24/7.

(disclaimer: i could be wrong though because i dont really take much notice anymore)
 
San Diego is only a single core chip. Toledo and Denmark are identical afaik just that in the dual-core Opterons it's called a Denmark and in an Athlon X2 it's called a Toledo.

I did email OcUK a while ago to point out the dual core Opterons were incorrectly labelled as San Diego cores, but they haven't changed it yet.
