 |
|
Hi, I was looking for an AMD Turion 64 X2 model TL-68, and came across a guy that's selling one. The strange thing is that the CPU code is TMDTL68HAX5DC, BUT as far as I know, AMD released model TL-68 with this code: TMDTL68HAX5DM.
What do you think? Is the seller mistaken? |

TMDTL68HAX5DC >> Stepping G1
TMDTL68HAX5DM >> Stepping G2

ok... that's what the code says. My question was slightly different: do you know if actually exists a TMDTL68HAX5DC processor? Did AMD ever released a Turion 64 x2 with G1 core stepping?
I cannot find it listed here on CPU-World, in the Turion 64 x2 family page... |

Both AMD & Intel produced hundreds of parts that were never officially released and these were generally supplied to the large OEMs
As they produced the TL-66 in both G1 & G2 steppings I don't doubt the TL-68 was also.
Generally the OEMs will get the initial run of production & by the time retail versions are available they maybe producing them in the next stepping

The guy that's selling the cpu is from germany.
He says that the processor's label there is written "diffused in germany" |

Yes as most are (die is made in Dresden, and then its assembled eleswhere)
My comment was in regards to the several sellers on eBay selling them from CHina/Taiwan, likely leftovers from a large computer OEM (since 90% of them are based in China/Taiwan)

BTW, I installed the TURION 64 x2 TL-68 on an old Acer Aspire 5100 (5102wlmi)... the default cpu for this laptop was a TL-50.
It works like a charm and I gained a noticeable speedup while mantaining the same (and sometimes lower!) cpu temperature!
That's surprising to me, because TL-50 and TL-68 have different manifacturing process, core stepping, cache dimensions.... |
