lol, the famous difference between the SX835 old logo and the SX835 new logo. That's all Mr. Green

NB : new logo is more common than the old logo

Do they both contain the FDIV bug then?

Are there any other occasions when Intel did this? Is there a non gold top version of the same SSpec aswell?

Ahh yes, So the 60 and the 66 where affected. I understand about the FDIV bug but I had never seen different prints before.

The date must show alot, ie after one certain date, the processor marking were changed. Out of interest can we work out when this date was?

Can it be that the Printing changes between the Datecodes?

Old Logo are : 414 & 418
New Logo are : 432 & 442

Means: The marking has changed between Datecode 418 and 432.

The other Datecodes i have from this Topic :

Yes I would have to agree that there will possible be one week (maybe not the same week in different countries) where the chip changed logo.

- Or could it be that different countries printed the chip differently?

in a word, yes lol.

Different asembly facilities will change at different times (but usally within a month of each other)

this goes for the Sspecs themselves as well as packageing.
