Hmmm... C0 or E0?

[jonpaul37]

i was wondering how i can tell which stepping my E8400 has on it when it arrives, it'll be here on wednesday night, and i know i'll be able to tell with CPUID, but is there some sort of indication on the box anywhere, or perhaps the processor itself?

E0

C0

Note the different product codes, these will be on the outside of the retail boxed CPU, think its also written on the cpu

The 'SLB9K' will be on a sticker that seals your box. Also, rumor has it the E0s come in a smaller box, although unless you've owned an older one, it would be hard to tell.
