Unidentifiable Northwood Stepping?

[jjwa]

Hello people,

yesterday I bought a 2,53Ghz northwood processor and wanted to check out the stepping at http://processorfinder.intel.com to see if I was lucky enough to have a C1 stepping, but... If I enter my sSpec number or my product code, it can't be found in the database...
Then I tried to find it by selecting the 2,53Ghz P4 and let the site show all the sSpec codes and stuff, but mine wasn't there eiter (doh, but I had to try).

I also checked this PDF in which you can find LOTS of sSpec and Stepping info but can't find it there either.
ftp://download.intel.com/design/Pentium4/specupdt/24919929.pdf

My info:
This is taken from the box:
Prod. Code: BX80532PE2533DSL6EV
MM#: 848888
FPO/Batch: #7236A384
Version#: A99825-001
Pack Date: 10/16/2002

This from the core:
SL6EV Philippines
7236A384-0462

My theory:
Why should it not be on the website? Well, maybe because it is the newest stepping or version and the site isn't updated yet?
So I may have a C1, a newer type of it, or maybe the successor of the C1?


What do you guys think?

Use cpu-z or a similar program to get the CPUID. Sandra will tell you as well.

All I can tell you offhand is that the core was made in the 36th week of 2002.

*Dual PIII-800 @900 i440BX and Tualeron 1.2 @1.74 i815*

Already answered this on another forum, confirmed NW B stepping.

yup, someone posted a little list of the updates made this month, and that list pointed out it was a B0

But in the same thread someone answered, he has the same stepping and could get 3.06Ghz w/ 1.55vcore and 3.2Ghz with 1.65vcore, he used regular H²O cooling, a crappy PSU and a bad overclockersmobo (MSI 845e).

Hey Fugger, for my friend's Xmas system we're trying to find a C1 stepping P4. Unfortunatly we have no idea how to ID them as they are all at the website of retailers, so I doubt they write the steppings. Got any ideas how to find them or should we content with just getting whatever pops out of the box?
Besides I am thinking of a 2.5GHZ 400MHZ FSB one so we can extract some real performance, and he is thinking of a water cooling system, so that adds to the "right choice of components" questions.

2.5A will be a C1,

At the endof the product code is the <A HREF="http://fugger.netfirms.com/sl6s6" target="_new">SL number</A> you are looking for. You need to cross reference on <A HREF="http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/specupdt/24919929.pdf" target="_new">Intel website.</A>
