What is the general stepping hierarchy for Opterons?

[thesurge]

Is it CABNE>CABYE>CAB2E>CABGE?

or something like CABNE>CAB2E>CABYE>CABGE

or

CAB2E>CABYE=CABNE>CABGE for overclocking with minimal voltage increase.

from this thread

as well a lot of people on this forum seem to be getting the CABYE 0540's to 2.8 at stock voltage

Single Core Steppings: The list below is a general guide to the strength of steppings from best to worst (as determinded by their probability of reaching 3GHz):

1. CABNE 05xx (excluding 0540) / CABYE 0540
2, CABNE 0540 / CABYE 05xx (excluding 0540)
3. CAB2E 05xx
4. CABGE 05xx

It should be known that CAB2E's are more variable than other steppings. They are a bit hit or miss, a fact which diminishes their probability of hitting 3GHz. 146 CAB2E's seem stronger than 144 CAB2E's do. Recently, weeks later than 0540 have begun to show up, but we do not have many results yet.

What about Opteron dual core (steppings) that are good for overclocking?

Would love to know. Thanks.
