How do I know which processor i am buying?

[deepakiitk]

As the amd website does not mention as to which core(s) are there ..
how do we get the information from the box we get ??

Could you be a little more vague please? I'm not entirely confused yet.

sry for the incomplete mail .. was a typo as i pressed enter before completing the mail .. anyways ..

what i wanted to know is how do i know which core of amd am i buying when i buy a amd 64 3200+ ..
i m interested to get a venice core but even the amd website doesnt mention anything about it ..
nor do the dealers in india have any idea as to which are they selling .. n i dont think its there on the carton of the proc ..

If you are getting a boxed AMD Processor, go to here and type in the code on the box.

what i meant was .. even the amd website does not distinguish between the various cores of AMD cpus ... nor do they have classification/website etc for each of them .. so no one knows abt it ..
i dont know if they ship their products on the core basis .. atleast in india the dealers simply sell by AMD Athlon 64 3200 + .. what they at max know is the pin(939/754) it uses as this information is available on the amd website ..

even that page doesnt give the core name .. tough it gives other details abt the cpu .. and this information is available on amd website ..
what is not available is the core name ( viz .. Venice , san diego .. etc.. )

so i wanna know how do i ask my vendor as to which core he is giving .. as there is no info on box either ...

thanks in advance ,,

look at the amd chip...it has a code on it. something like ada3000(BP)box should be venice.

what in ada3000BPBOX signify that it is venice core ??
when we enter this info on the website given by one of the members .. the website did not reveal the core ..
attached below is what it revealed ..

That would be a Venice because of the "BP" in the code name.

thanks man .. thats what i wanted to know ..

i would be highly obliged ..if any of you could pls tell me the codes for other cores too .. viz .. winchester, san diego etc .. it would just be for my G.K ..
