http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20030930171549.html

haven't seen any thortons around here but i'll be looking.

USAPGAPRO · Sep 30, 2003

Yeah, I havent seen any either. I looked last weekend on Pricewatch but none.

No codes?

"You can distinguish them by a little bit longer core compared to ordinary AMD Athlon XP with 256KB chips."

and

"Lock up the L2 bridges... to get a fully functional Athlon XP "Barton" processor with 512KB of L2."

disregard..

pigo1973 · Oct 1, 2003

It works!!!
I just changed my sig... because i got myself today a brend new 2000+ Thorton and moded it to 3200+ Barton!!!
Connected that cut L2 bridge and boot....

That's it.
Time to do some benchmarking and burning in...

Please post the entire CPU code of your Thorton chip!

brennan77 · Oct 1, 2003

Yeah, codes would be useful. Alot of people have been getting newer stepping A cores but could we be mistaken in that they are really Thortons?

Severian · Oct 1, 2003

While you're at it, where did you get that chip from?

Wouldn't mind one myself

pigo1973 · Oct 1, 2003

Let picture speak for it self!

This one is from Zagreb, Croatia, from local hardware store. It was THE only ONE, and even a salesman didn't know what he is letting go!!

OK OK so Thortons are 2000+, 2200+, 2400+ chips with Barton codes.

Question now is how are Barton codes different from Thoroughbred codes?

How much $ or Euros over there for this CPU?

L337 M33P · Oct 1, 2003

The steppings are the clue. If they are the same as standard Bartons it's a bit of a giveaway

Also this AXDC - thing is probably type-specific.

c627627 · Oct 1, 2003

I think this is how to tell them apart:
Could someone please confirm that all Bartons have the second letter 'Q' in their code?

So 2000+, 2200+ 2400+ with second letter Q in the code would be Thortons.

brennan77 · Oct 1, 2003

Don't all T-Breds have the AXDA model code no matter the core revision?

USAPGAPRO · Oct 1, 2003

Me wants Thorton to mod into a 3200 Barton.

Mizzery · Oct 2, 2003

a quick way to visually tell them apart -
If you look at the five things (i don't know what they are) on each side of the die, on the tbred cores, it doesnt go up to the fist and last one. On barton cores, it extends slightly into each one.

Price was 63 Euros....

Hvala.

Jarhead7236 · Oct 2, 2003

gonna start looking

joikd · Oct 2, 2003

I can't believe there is not more interest in this! I thought that this would be blowing up the boards by now.

Anyone find a seller yet?

Jarhead7236 · Oct 2, 2003

none here...locally, at least...i'll check back in a week or so, tho....my favorite local store is completely out of bartons and tbreds....they had one 1600...that was it.
