Green ATHLON XP

[zeruty]

What is behind the Green Athlon XP processor? Other than the Color. I noticed that in the Corner, where the brown ones had a 'N' in the corner, these ones now have a 'B' . What is up with that?

green athlons? where? you're talking about the XP's, right?

I've got a green XP 1600, nothing special from what I can tell, doesn't overclock any better than other XP's from what I can see.

It's organic everything these days 🙂

From what I could find out, it's just a dye job. Link

yep, just a little change for amd. all the new procs are supposedly going to be green. doesn't have any advancements over the old ones. i think they look pretty cool. i wish my XP 1600 was green...🙂

quote from Anand's article:



<< An interesting nonperformance related fact is that by the end of the first half of 2002 all of AMD's organic packages will be dyed green instead of brown. >>



Cool, I thought that brown was ugly. Not that you would see it anyways, but still.
