Does anyone know the difference between the Athlon 64 1640B and the Athlon 64 LE-1640B, have benched both as bought from E-Bay. TPU shows the PN as a LE, CPU World & Newegg show it as the non LE?

PN, ADH164BIAA4DP

I cant spot any difference between the Athlon 64 1640B and the Athlon 64 LE-1640 (the 512kb L2 version)

Wiki doesn't have a listing for Athlon 64 1640B (Lima) only the LE. LE-1640 & LE-1640B same chip but have different Part #s, per Wiki the B in the name means AMD will have parts available for 2 years after release.image.thumb.jpeg.368f135ee3df188a3e02f9fe5b55cffc.jpeg

Athlon 64 1640B and the Athlon 64 LE-1640B

I'm not too good at AM2 but I've done quite a research on 754/939/940. So, there's three flavors of Athlon 64 LE-1640:

ADH1640IAA5DH (Orleans F3 1MB L2 cache 2.6GHz)
ADH1640IAA5DP (Lima G2 1MB L2 cache 2.6GHz)
ADH1640IAA4DP (Lima G2 512kB L2 cache 2.7GHz)

and one Athlon 64 1640B (no LE here):
ADH164BIAA4DP (Lima G2 512kB L2 cache 2.7GHz)

The B stands for business and it's one of the so-called "business class processors"

Quote

AMD IS INTRODUCING its new Business Class platform, and is doing it using the letter B and three prongs. Those are longevity, efficiency and manageability.

The geeks out there will want to know the hardware stuff first, and in a blinding flash of common sense so often missing in the CPU world, AMD did the right thing in naming the new CPUs. All of the Business class CPUs will have the suffix 'B' appended to them but are otherwise the same as existing parts. There are seven CPUs, an X4 9600B, X3 8600B, X2s 5400B, 5200B, 5000B, 4450B and a single core Athlon 1640B. The Phenoms are 95W, the last two are 45W and the rest are 65W parts.

The main difference is three year warranty (instead of one) and two year guaranteed platform availability (meaning they won't EoL).

The specs are the same, it's the lineup that is different.

Some more rants on the case:

IIRC, the X2 4450e and 4450B have the same specs too.
