Talk:Stepping (version numbers)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article seems to deal exclusively with Intel, excluding the quick early mention. I was wondering if anyone could expand upon it to include both AMD and Intel? Blitz Tiger

So, is it correct to say that a higher stepping means a better processor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.209.164.9 (talk) 21:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Usually people do not care which stepping they have; the flaws fixed between steppings are usually minor. In cases where stepping is important, it is more likely that a specific stepping or range of steppings will be sought or avoided because of a specific problem. Sw2k7 (talk) 19:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
