Why is my RMA'd AMD XP Green?

I bought a AMD XP1900+ last week and it turned out to be defective. I RMA'd the chip and got the replacement this afternoon but it is a green pcb instead of the tan that I have become accustomed to. Please don't tell me this is an MP as I don't feel like going through this RMA process again. Thanks for your help.
 
Newer Athlon XP chips are green. It's merely for looking cool. Same performance.

Please don't tell me this is an MP

It's probably not an MP. If it was, you'd be lucky, as it'd be multiplier unlocked, and MP unlocked.
 
Why would you be upset about having an MP, MPs are the exact same chip. Anyway I think they went back to being green so you don't have anything to worry bout anyway, its the same athlon xp. Check it out in wincpuid and you'll see exactly what it is.
 
Why worry if the cpu is an MP instead of an XP? its the same core, and should have the same performance at equal clock speeds....
 
Actually that's cool. Green would definitely look a lot better than that orange/brown organic packaging.

This also signals that AMD will very soon mass produce green AXP's. 😀
 
OK, good to know. I'll check it out later in wincpuid after I get the OS installed and see what it says. Thanks a lot for your help.
 
yeah, i first got my xp1700+ as a brown one then when i exchanged it due to it being defective, i got a green one back.
i think they are the same stepping too
