Hey
An online store is selling these. Has anyone heard about this stepping?

so you are starting to believe in steppings then?
Akira283-IGN said:
Apparently, you're confused. I always say that newer steppings are better, because the newer the CPU is, the better chance it has for overclocking. It's the argument that steppings help decode the CPU's overclockability that I disprove to people. Maybe you should read my copy/paste comments in another thread, because it clearly says that.

if someone is after purchase advice or asking for an estimate as to how much people think his CPU should be able to overclock, then the stepping is quite important information.
Akira283-IGN said:Stop making me repeat myself: the newer the CPU is, the more potential for overclocking it has. Therefore, all you need to know is which stepping and week are the most recent. No need to analyze overclocking on a stepping-by-stepping basis, since that's practically impossible. People cannot estimate an overclock without being extremely broad, since every CPU, motherboard, cooling setup and voltage configuration is unique.
