Looking for clarification on how to send these.

Seems one of the pics flipped. Intel's are on the bottom, Opteron's top left and AMD's Top Right.

All posted.
With pins are green brown fibre with metal
Without pins are pinless

Closer pic of the Opterons above. These have pins, but are not Green/Brown Fiber. Does that change the classification?

Ah. AMD ceramic metal top

Does this change the classification from previous replies?

Unfortunately the gallery is in need of some pruning. Chris has greatly adjusted the classes over the last 18 months or so. And it needed cleanup before then. ;)


The AMD blocks are copper and tungsten. Making them a different situation vs the standard aluminium or pure copper spreaders.
For a while they went as green fibre with metal. And for a while as pinless.
I believe the point of the gallery photo is from an old long discussion thread over non plated SPARC CPUs; and that was the closest thing they had available at the time for a demo picture.

For the time being I stand with that grade.
If I hear different down the line I’ve bookmarked this thread to return later but for now send it as I said in the last post.
