My Winchester Is a 2005 Week 3

[MrControversial]

What's the word on the 2005 Winchesters?

 

[Wicked2010]

Uhhh.... should be ok.

Why do you ask?

 

[Leper Messiah]

Some people are complaining about the 0503s, that they don't OC as well, but some people are doing okay still. As always, the luck of the draw. Be glad you get anything higher than stock.

Im hearing that the 05s in general are quite poor. Not sure as to why. Perhaps AMD is cleaning the dregs of the cores in anticipation to the release of the E0s

Some people are saying they are worse than, say a 0448, but I've heard good things about the 0504s, and some good things about the 0503s.

 

[MrControversial]

Well, I hope I got a good one.

basically the best I saw from reports of those that do report is that 0448's seemed really good.....0451's seemed to have some more stinkers but I aslo saw some good ocs on them as welll....

I wonder if how much we can really put stock on most reports anyways cause we cannot have complete faith in the users ability, his other hardware, etc.....

Just to clarify... The dates on the IHS are the packaging dates, and not when the chip was manufactured. I'm sure there is some "loose" correlation between when it was manufactured, and when it was packaged though.

This is why nobody can get a reasonably consistent compilation on any specific dates.

didn't realize it was the packaged date. figured it more to be the production date... but yeah there has to be some correlation.. i mean a chip made in 0430 wouldn't be packaged on 0503... right?

anyway... the CBBID chips seem to overclock a lil worse than the CBBHD chips...

Could explain how my week 36 bucks the trend....

Does AMD ship the chip elsewhere to be packaged like Intel or do they do it at the same place?? That could give us an idea if the packaging date is at least somewhat clos to the possible fab date....INtel sends them half way around the world....

I'm not sure about shipping CPU's all over the world like Intel does. They do try to mix it up some though. The reason for this is price gouging.

If say every single week 48 CPU was a sure fire 2.7GHz on air, retailers would be charging at least triple (probably more) for any, and every week 48 CPU. So even though it's a pain in the ass, it's for our own benefit if you look at the big picture from AMD's (or Intel's) point of view.
