If mtx500 is around here, he'd probably tell you more... But you can have a look at his website :

I don't know how many. I know of three ones showing 102. A quick look into my collection of pictures of the Nx586 shows that the 101 marking is much more common for the version with the small silverish heatspreader.

The marking is built this way:
Code:
Nx586-xxxx-vvv-ppt-sss

xxxx   performance id value (P75, P80, P90, P100, P120)
vvv    voltage (ie. 4.0=4V)
pp     package type (ie. CP=ceramic PGA)
t      temperature (ie. C=commercial)
sss    stepping id value


So yes, it stands for the stepping. What I know is:

201 = D1 stepping
202 = D2 stepping

Existing CPU/FPU steppings: C3/-- (for VLB), D1/B0, D1/B1, E2/C0

"for VLB": that's the one with the small silverish heat spreader.
The E2 stepping is for the 120 MHz Nx586s.


I have collected all pictures of Nx586s I could find. From these, I find the following markings regarding stepping:

small silverish heat spreader:
C3
101
102

big silverish heat spreader:
202
301 (120 MHz)
303 (120 MHz)

brown heat spreader:
202,001
The first number is for the CPU, the second for the FPU.

Note that the Nx586s with the brown heat spreader have a -E/E or -E/D written on it after the speed (e.g. PF110-E/E). I don't know what that means, but it is not the stepping. My Nx586 has no speed marking on the front, but a stamp on the underside that reads "P90 E/E". So this E/E stuff existed alread before and is not specific to the brown heat spreader.

Christian, I have much more material on my hard disk that I could produce HTML pages of. But my two children, my wife, my new house and my job keep me very busy. So, I still plan to improve it, but it may take a long time.
