Looking for something

As posted in the "My Dad's new Rig", which no-one reads, I need that website that explains how to 'decode' the writings on an Athlon64 processor.

Thanks.
 
What are you trying to decode? The YBBLE portion? EPAW?

You mention looking for overclocking information, and the last line I don't even think has much to do with that aspect of the chip.

Typically the second line gives you insight into how good a batch the chip was binned from.


YBBLE

Your looking for something that doesn't exist, the only thing in the last two lines that can be "decoded" is the date.

YBBLE is the stepping which has no meaning other than some believe one stepping will OC better than another
EPAW is the batch code, same as the stepping

And the last line is the serial# which is a random # that identifies an individual CPU and also has no deeper meaning.
