What indicates a athlon chip is "A" or "B"?

[cmai]

see title. Is this in the model number? Are there any sellers that guarantee the "B" version or is pretty much all random? Does AMD produce A and B chips at random? How does this work exactly?

Thanks,

cmai

it is the serial code on the chip ie JIHUB is a B core cuz the last letter of the code is a "B". AGOGIA would be a A core cuz the last letter is an A

Excaliber PC gureentees a B core
