Generally, they are used to determine about when the processor was manufactured. Certain batches of CPU's can sometimes be better overclockers than others, so this is used to see what batch the particular cpu comes from.

The codes contain useful information regarding the CPU. For example, the voltage, the FSB speed, model/family, cache size, and date of manufacture.

Go HERE, it's an AMD cpu identifyer chart that tells how to "read" the codes.
