ive been noticing lately that if you have a look on your processor theres a date for the year of manufacture.
At work weve just recieved all the bits for a new comp ive got to build for someone and i had a look on the processor (a sempron 2600 sk 754) and realised that it was made in 2001... 5 years ago but as far as i know socket 754 has only been around for like 2 years tops.
with this in mind ive had a look at my own AMD Athlon XP 3200+ and that was made in 1997. which if i remeber right was a time when the best processors were just getting close to 1GHz and memory speeds were still 133MHz at best
it seems to be that either the governments or the companies are holding back on technology release and were all actually about 5 years behind actual current technology.
Anyone got any input on this?

the dates are physically on the processor itself stamped on
that one says 1999 but mine says 1997
it more than likely is just the copyright date but i dont get why that pic has 1999 copyright date and my 3200 which is newer than the 3000 in the pic(or at least i thought it should be) has 1997

it is copyright/trademark date not manufactured date as it would use a date code like on the chips on the motherboard.

it most likely is the copyright date. but you never know...
i mean the government is about 2 generations of technology ahead of the rest of us

don't count on it. when the us navy did computer upgrades to their f-14 tomcats in the mid 90's to a 386 level when civies were using 486's & up. a lot of the military computers are off the shelf computers or modified to be more rugged.

im not talking about aircraft really. i mean if you were to go into the mi5 building in london theyd most likely have pcs that have intel pentium 6 processors in and about 31 tbs of some mad kind of superfast memory that we havent even heard of yet
lol

Doubtful... that date is the trademark and copyright date of the term Athlon and perhaps the AMD symbol. It has nothing to do when the design was finalized.
The military and governments do get some technology years before they are seen in the civilian sector, but that's mostly stuff developed specifically for military applications, generally weapons systems, which are reclassified and adapted for use in the civilian sector at a later date. Examples would be GPS, FLIR, and the internet.

exactly....the year is the day that amd seperon,etc. was invented and also what version that cpu came out....this date has nothing to do with the day the public can buy it.games take 3 to 5 years to make.on every pc game the date either reads 2 or 3 years before the game goes gold.same with cars.every copywrite starts with an idea.then it has to be invented.....thats what those dates mean not the day it goes retail.....lol....peace

Oo He said that's the date when they copyrighted the idea for the name, as in "Hey here's what our new CPU should have in it... I think we'll call it a 'Crapteron'... Bill, trademark that!" If it took five years for them to actually create a processor from the original spec sheet, how does that make you even remotely correct?

It makes him right because 5 years ago they new the name of the new processor and were probley just trying to think of an idea of what it should do.
