what the hell is a "AYHJA Core"?

[ShadyBob]

trying to find the cheapest 1.4ghz athlon oem cpu i can find... i'm seeing ones with a "AYHJA Core"
can someone enlighten me as to whats the difference?

People have seen different "Steppings" of the T-Bird core, AXIA is one common on 1.2 and up, and I've seen a few other like AYHJA, AYHJAR. etc. I couldn't tell u which is the best, but it really only matters if u want to oc, AXIA oces very well and I've heard some big leauge oces out of AYHJAR like 1.6GHz, but that's all I know.

AYHJA Cores are known to overclock really well...like 1.6 ghz. Its like the whole AXIA/AVIA thing with the 1ghz CPUs. They overclock better than the others. If you're not going to overclock then its not really important.

Dont worry about the different core steppinge unless your going to overclock.

Better steppings will run a few C cooler. If you are worried, it might be worth the extra $20.
