You can only lookup family, model and stepping with the vendors data sheets to get a first impression of the possible chip. Some chip cores get reconfigured by the vendor depending on QA (if it is not able to cleanly process at high speed it gets sold as a slower chip). > On the other server I have some 2GHz HT Xeons which can't be identified on > Intel site because of strange naming pattern. Google for model and stepping.
