Whats the difference between an a64 3700 E4 and E5 stepping. I thought I was ordering an E5 and got an E4 from newegg.com along with another surprise.

Full Version: what's the diff between 3700 sandiego E4 and E5
I'm guessing the model is ClawHammer or San Diego... and E5 stepping? I don't think that is even out there yet...

I was going by an ad at techbargains.com from monarch computer....
"AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Processor $269.99 - July 29, 2005
Monarch Computer has the AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Processor Socket 939 (Latest Rev E - San Diego Core) OEM CPU only for only $299 - $39 off Coupon: 1PH7-O7PZF8 = $260. No fan. Free shipping, tax in GA. $340+ elsewhere. "
I ordered one from newegg and got an E4 revision and was curious what the difference was.

Anyone correct me if im wrong but, i don't think there is a E5 revision of the AMD 64s?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103539
Is this the one u bought?
But like i said earlier... I haven't heard anything about the E5 revision... I'll keep looking for anything on a E5 revision, but it doesn't look good 2 me...

im a lil drunk so bear w/ me.. but where are you seeing rev4/5?
revision e (latest) are 90nm san diego and venice, rev d are the winchesters, etc.

@Porn Loader:
Since u r a little drunker now than u were b4... i'll help u out a little.. look at the code above.... then look at the CPU-Stepping.... The CPU-Stepping is what he wants to know about... but i have never heard of a E5 revision and at that i don't think AMD would still call the revision San Diego due to that it may cause confusion 4 people...

thanks lic!!!
the wonders of beer...
man i should have known that, i have a claw and sd still in hand. i was retarded to start w/ and the beer made it even more apparent.

@porn loader:
no problem dude... i know how it is... i don't drink beer.. but i have... well... tequilla, and some other stuff.. but i never ended up s***faced... lol... but anyways... u have 2 x64bit processors? y? or do u just like upgrading all the time?
One more thing Porn Loader, have u heard about a E5 revision in the CPU-Stepping?

the e4 is a s939 san diego, the e5 is a s754 mobile cpu called newark, it is based off of the san diego core, both of them running at 3700
There ya are...aspenjim.. u ordered a mobile processor and sent u a desktop...

yea, bought my clawhammer 3200 at release (nov 03), now im running a 4000+, REALLY wanted one of the toledo cores, but the 4400 wasnt enough of a bump in speed (imo), and the 4800 was 2x the cost of my 4000+. starting to regret it tho, nvidia is taliking about utilizing the dual cores in there drivers...
as for upgrading to often.. the 3200 cost me ~$425 at release, the prior 6-8 months i went thru about 6 2500 bartons plus at least 5 mobos. add that up and the $425 i paid for 18months i used the 3200 look nice and cheap.
rip thanks for the info on the turion/mobiles, havent looked at amd for mobiles at all yet...
how did u go thru 6 2500+ bartons? let me guess u overclocked and fried them along with the mobos... lol... as for the 4000+ i would have just bought a dual-core... a little more expensive but it would have been better in the long run
didn't fry any of them, just wanted one that would clock higher than 2400mhz. 
as for the x2's i was seriously leaning towards that route.. but considering that i was on a 2ghz 1meg L2 chip, and that i'd have to drop $700+ for a x2 4400 that was at 2.2 just wasnt worth the $$ for the 200mhz bump for performance now. my rig gets used 95% for gaming, the rest is just surfing porn . now in a year+ when multithreaded games come out, i'll throw this 4000 in my server and buy a x2 (5400+ 2.8ghz, 1meg L2? 
). the only other thing that could push that date closer would be a good size performance jump from nvidias drivers taking advantage of dual core.
