Hello, i have some questions about some AMD products. The big question is how can i recognize a CPU by OPN when the TRAY coded CPU is selled BOXED? example:

SDA2800AIO3BA is the TRAY code for a Sempron CPU but i can buy the CPU Boxed with the 64-bit specification on the box!!!

Please tell me how can i be sure that this CPU is 64-bit or 32-bit? Where can i find this information on AMD's Web Site?

I have questions and for 2500+ and 3000+ versions, still TRAY codes but Boxed. Please i need a quick answer about this problem.

NOTE: CPU-Z tells me that the 2800+ CPU is Palermo D0 type with 64-bit instructions but at POST i don't get the info "64-bit CPU" on a NF3 250Gb motherboard.

And on AMD site i did not find anywhere some refferences about 64-bit Semprons, they all seems to be 32-bit!!!

Socket 754 Semprons with an OPN ending in 'BX' are 64-bit enabled. Any other OPN, regardless of the revision (ALL Sempron 64's will be revision E6), will NOT be 64-bit enabled.

As for CPU-Z, if you're using an older version, then that will need to be fixed; if that issue hasn't been fixed yet, then they will need to recompile the program to allow the Sempron 64 to be recognized properly.

By the way, if in doubt, PM Greyhound.

You can also read my Post on this Thread' ">http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=56575. The Retail Semprons versions that comes with the CV surfix in it are all Palermo Rev. D0 (Winchester based) with x86-64 support. However, the Processor itself that comes from those Retail versions still uses the OPN with the BA surfix of a regular Palermo Rev. D0. What I don't know is how on the earth recognize an x86-64 supporting Sempron with BA surfix (Because as AMD808 sayed you, all the ones with BX surfix are the ones that officialy supports x86-64) that comes from a Retail package with the CV surfix from the regular BA version, because both Processors seems to use the same OPN...

^^ If i didnt know what you were talking about, that would be so confusing....

Nice post!

Yes, i wanted to be sure about that, involves about 50 CPU's. I wanted a clear situation because the official channel AMD vendor seems to sell it as 32-bit CPU and another vendor has same coded CPU in a BOX that is marqued 64-bit!
