Where Was My CPU Made

[Paragon]

I was just inspecting my new 2.8C and like most people I checked:

1.) Version: C30417-003

2.) Product Code: BX80532PG2800DSL6WJ

3.) Pack Date: June 04, 2003

4.) Where: ?

There is no location on the label as to where the chip was made! This is the first chip I've ever seen without this location on the label:eek: Any thoughts?:confused:

on the chip itself?



Example: L149A463-0726

1st letter or digit= plant code.....

0= Costa Rica
3= Costa Rica
1= Philippines
R= Philippines
7= Philippines
9= Malaysia
Q= Malaysia
L= Malaysia
8= Ireland
Y= Ireland
6= Arizona

2nd digit= Year of production (2001)

3rd & 4th digits= week (49th)

A463= some kind of traceability number

0726= Serialization code

np!

the numbers that ppl are interested in when asking are the s-code~
in your case SL6WJ~
and of course the 1st 4 digits of the fpo-batch.
