(Note: I assume that a week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday, although this is not a standard convention in many countries.)

Saturday January 1 2000 was week 1 that began a leap year.
Sunday January 2 was the start of week 2.
Sunday December 31 (the 366th day) was the start of week 54.

So my question is: were there any processors produced on December 31 2000 that bear the date code 0054?

The week would have been numbered either from when it started, or when it ended, not both. That means there could be a week 53 but not a week 54. Smile

Ah, I figured they would increment when the year ends, even when that happens mid-week. Apparently that is false.

So then in the example above, chips produced on
Sat January 1 would be marked 9952
SUN January 2 would be 0001
and thus Sun December 31 would only be 0053?

Darn, I was hoping to start a quest for the elusive and rare week 54 chips. Wink
