Are all X5680 CPUs the same?

[smirk]

I'm about to upgrade my MP 5,1 2.8GHz to a X5680 CPU. I see on eBay there are some made in Costa Rica and some made in Malaysia, and each has different ID numbers stamped on the lid.

Does it matter which one I get? Are some models better (bugs fixed?) than others?

Thanks!

X5680 has just only one revision, no problem mixing batches. Just don't buy ES Xeons.
