    I have two Sp9400 (@2.4 Ghz) with different S-spec.

    In base of this parameter how can identify the differences (if any) and eventually understand the month/year production or, at least, deduce which one is more recent ?

    One has SLGAA while the other is identified with SLB64,SLBHG

    A first diffence (Evident using ThrottleStop) is that the former support a min voltage of 0.9125 while the other can be undervolted at 0.9000

    thks

    Well, i learn something new everyday. :D +rep

    I'm just guessing that Intel tweaked some things and that they were manufactured at a different date.
