CPU Batch # Suggestion

drnip · #1 11-19-2009, 15:33

This has prolly been discussed in the past but I would like to see in the future a place to input your CPU Batch #. Some peoples I know from them posting in other forums but others I don't. It would also be a nice way to track them.

Yes it has been suggested before. It's a hard choice between providing a simple user interface, and allowing the user to enter a gazillion technical details... that's why it has not been implemented so far.

In the meantime it is a possibility to enter it in the description field (and thus very optional). But it sure would be NICE to have it as a separate field, and searchable

I would imagine that the user would have to input the info as it would be too hard maintaining it on your end. At least I think so.

I think its good db info that would be heavily searched and utilized. Dozens of forums already have threads dedicated to batch# performance and it draws huge search hit #s as well.

hmm okay. What info do we need to store? Batch number (alphanummeric?) and week number?

I'd say a single alphanumeric value ( e.g. L741A485 )
And don't limit the input characters, because there are longer batches out there, like the ones ending with a T ( e.g. L741A485T

)

We have AMD steppings too. It would be great if there was a system that worked for both stepping/batch systems.

AMD ? Who ? ( just kidding

)

A drop-down menu to select AMD or Intel would be nice, and useful to quickly tie the batch numbers with the manufacturer instead of linking them with the processor name.

We know the manufacturer of the processor, so a drop down is not necessary. Just a alphanumeric text field, 30 chars long then?
