Letters and numbers on processors... what do they stand for?
« on: December 05, 2003, 10:49:17 PM »
Hi,

I just looked at my Blizzard 1260 card produced by DCE. My cpu has several numbers and letters on it, and I was wondering what they meant.

It says XC68060RC50 and on the next line it says 9942. Well, I know what the 68060 and the 50 stands for, but what about the rest?

Thanks mate.

Do you know if it has any impact on the speed of the cpu?

The numbers I typed in the first post was the only numbers on my CPU.

But I would never have guessed the 9942 number, so thank you for that.

How come there are different versions (MC/RC) if there isn't any differences in speed etc?
