I find the steppings to be annoying in that they use letters and names. I just can't remember the steppings what names they are as well.

Seriously couldn't AMD just use a simply letter at the end of the PR number like 2800A and 2800B, it sure would save some time.

Example:

2800A = Clawhammer, CO, 1.5v, 70°

2800B = Newcastle, CG, 1.5v, 70°

2800C = Clawhammer, CG, 1.5v, 70°

etc.

There is this: http://www.thedigerati.us/info/amdcpuchart.html

but that is a pain to keep memorized.
