How to identify a thoroughbred XP when shopping?

[DougFrippon]

I have heard that AMD has made older processors (like 1800+, 1900+, 2000+) with the thoroughbred 0.13µ core
If that is true.. then how can you know when you are ordering a processor.. if it is a "Palomino 0.18µ Athlon XP" or a "Thoroughbred 0.13µ Athlon XP"?

And .. btw the 2200+ was made Thoroughbred only.. right?

There is a smaller die on the tbred and also the markings on the die are now on a little name tage. Let find a picture for ya.


Edit: Hereis some pics

Yea but the problem is we usually can't see the processor when we are shopping online...

Cuz you know most of those stores are simply listing it that way :
Athlon XP 1800+ - 100$
or..
Athlon XP 1800+(1.53ghz) - 100$

They won't tell if it is Pal or T-bred... you know what I mean?

I was under the impression that T-breds started at 2200+. Any chip rated under 2200+ is a Palomino.

By the way, if you want to differentiate between Palomino and T-bred 2200+'s, then just look at the product number. If it begins with AX, then it's a Palomino; if it begins with AXDA, then it's a T-bred.

I had a similar thread here.

Look at the chip. It should read "AXDA" in the jumble of crap on the chip. AXDA is how you know it is T'Bred.

and has anyone heard of some other t-bred Athlon XP then the 2200+? (like.. t-bred 2000+ or smthing..)
