Processor Database

[slipd]

Guys,

Isn't there some kind of web database that allows you to "check out" your processor via the manufacture information that is printed on the chip? I remember having to email a load of sellers on ebay asking for the codes on their opterons that they were selling - I wanted to make sure I was going to overclock

I'd like to check out the background info on my new 2500k...

You mean the information as to where it was made and which week and all that? That info is on the box too. The long set of letters and numbers.

Example: L149A463-0726

1st letter or digit = plant code (Malay)
0 = San Jose, Costa Rica
1 = Cavite, Philippines
3 = .............., Costa Rica
6 = Chandler, Arizona
7 = .........., Philippines
8 = Leixlip, Ireland
9 = Penang, Malaysia
L = ............, Malaysia
Q = ..........., Malaysia
R = Manila, Philippines
Y = Leixlip, Ireland

2nd digit = Year of production (2001)

3rd & 4th digits = week (49th week )

5th - 8th digits= lot number

10th - 13th digits = serialization code
