How to tell a T'Bred B without Manu. Code

[Elcs]

Ive been looking at many vendors in aid of finding a T'Bred B AXP. Now, most stores dont use the AMD Product Code to identify the AXP.

Taking say the 1800+ AXP. Palomino, T-Bred A and T-Bred B - what are the discernable differences?

0.18 -> 0.13 micron for Palo -> T-bred
Voltage differences, do the A's use a different voltage compared to the B?

stuff like that which may be posted on a website. Just to discern an A from a B without the AXDA1800DMT3C or AXDA1800DLT3C or even AXDA1800DUT3C.

The product codes are the best way to figure out whether you're getting a T-bred A or B. As reported by Overclockers in this article, T-bred A's will have a default voltage anywhere between 1.5V - 1.65V. T-bred B's are 1.6V - 1.65V.

My advice is to only purchase from a reseller deemed reputable by Reseller Ratings that provides the product code on the website. Newegg is an excellent example of a great merchant that provides product codes.
