Opteron Identification


Currently I only have G34 examples shown but I will probably add C32 later and if requested Socket F.

                                         not sure what base they are using since they did have a 20c ES AD chip that hasn't show up anywhere.  
                                         So... 1-9 then A-Z.  20c would be K by my guess.)

Retail information mainly gathered from cpu-world.
http://www.cpu-world.com/info/id/AMD-K10-identification.html

Gathering the ES info and connecting the dots was my doing.
I am still trying to work out what those last 2 digits of the part number mean though lol.

6. Number of cores in hex ??

16 base 10 = 10 in hex, so not quite hex after this point

Yeah that got pointed out in irc... It looks like they abandoned hex with IL.
Answers my question as to what they planed to do about the 20c chip.
