I have no idea what are the AMD stepping F2 and F3

Please tell me and which is better as well

Thank you very much

The new Intels beat the crap out of AMD. Why are you interested in AMD? :rolleyes:

He didn't ask what was better between AMD and Intel he asked about the stepping. I'm tired of seeing threads with questions about AMD like this and people hijacking the thread with comments like that...and not even helping him!

As far the actual answer I'm not exactly sure.
 
Windsor (90 nm SOI)
Dual-core CPU

CPU-Stepping: F2, F3
L1-Cache: 64 + 64 KiB (Data + Instructions), per core
L2-Cache: 256, 512 or 1024 KiB fullspeed, per core
MMX, Extended 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, AMD64, Cool'n'Quiet, NX Bit, AMD Virtualization
Socket AM2, HyperTransport (1000 MHz, HT1000)
VCore: 1.30 V - 1.35 V
Power Consumption (TDP): 35 Watt (3800+ EE SFF), 65 Watt (3600+ to 4800+ EE) , 89 Watt max
First Release: May 23, 2006
Clockrate: 2000 MHz - 2800MHz
256 KiB L2-Cache:
3600+: 2000 Mhz
512 KiB L2-Cache: (often mislabeled as Brisbane core)
3800+: 2000 MHz
4200+: 2200 MHz
4600+: 2400 MHz
5000+: 2600 MHz
5400+: 2800 MHz (F3)
1024 KiB L2-Cache:
4000+: 2000 MHz
4400+: 2200 MHz
4800+: 2400 MHz
5200+: 2600 MHz
5600+: 2800 MHz (F3)

I'd say the F3 since they are the highest frequency ;)
 
Sorry but some of us don't like to whore ourselves out to whoever has the "best" technology at the moment. :p Me, I have no clue about steppings...

I didn't hijack the thread. I'm CURIOUS as to how someone would arrive at a conclusion that AMD chips are interesting.

I'm CURIOUS as to how someone would arrive at the conclusion that he said he was interested in them :p

Loyalty isn't exactly the greatest of ideas in a capitalist market.

Granted, the performance difference in Intel and AMD's offering is pretty minimal... Nothing 90% of the people who use either or will ever truly notice...

But still.
 
I know many great things about intel, but i know little about AMD so im just doing little researching about it thats all.

Thanks for responses anyway

take it easy, slugger. all he asked was what the difference was between the stepping.

no need to jump down his throat with a "C2D pwns 4LL!!1" comment. :rolleyes:

It wasn't a negative comment, just stating a fact.

I suppose if you want to get picky about it you can say that it depends on which benchmarks you look at. Since I'm a UT2004 fan, it was hard for me to acknowledge the fact that the new Intels are like 50% ahead on the benchmarks because I was also an AMD fan. But, like I said before, I have 2 GB of OCZ Platinum RAM and not much money so...I'm stuck with AMD for a while.
 
The Sun's diameter is 1.4 million kilometers.

Just stating a fact, but do you see how that fact is totally worthless to this thread?
Sorry for a worthless post, but coolpurplefan left 4 of them and the question is already answered.

Hey, blame it on Wal-Mart. Lately I'm only getting two days per week (15 hours). I applied for a job at two different places today for a full time job. Wish me luck DAAMIT. Maybe I'll be posting less. :D

the rolleyes emoticon? :rolleyes:


try answering his question (or reading his post) instead of rolling your eyes all over the place on something complete OT to the OP's post.

Kids, seriously. It's the AMD processors forum. Don't lecture us on how good the C2D is. IF WE CARED, WE'D ASK IN THE INTEL PROCESSORS FORUM! The OP is obviously interested in AMD PROCESSORS, not Intel ones. So sit down and shut up, and let people answer this person's question.
 
I was actually pointing out CD2 were faster in case he didn't know the difference. I was being nice. You people however, are being bizarre. :eek:

Its not about loyaltys. Maybe people go for AMD because of the better mobo cpu prices. Nearly a 50% price difference on mobos. You got to spend $150 for a just decent mobo from Intel and a outragous $189 for the lowest end C2D. :rolleyes: He could get a 70 $80 AMD mobo and a $130 cpu and OC it to 2.8 or 3ghz making it more then half the price of a C2D. And that cheap mobo would blow the socks off any intel chipset. lol

Sure it was. :rolleyes: Makes no difference in the real world just get a better GPU.
