Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition G1 or G2 stepping?

[Laurijan]

Hi!

I though about buying this awesome overclocker but am confused because:
Does somebody know if the 5000+ Black Edition with OPN PIB Code: ADO5000DSWOF is a G2 stepping model or a G1 stepping model.
The one tested on Tom´s hardware is a ADO5000IAA5DS (G2 stepping) but that model isn´t for sale anywhere.
Newegg does sell the ADO5000DSWOF model and it would be strange if it was not the latest G2.
More confusing is that AMD itself tell that the ADO5000DSWOF is a revision G1 http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=39

Couldn´t resist to order it - but would be nice to know about the G2 thing so I can chancel the order if its a G1

AMD's Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition comes with one unbeatable advantage that no other AMD processor in recent memory has ever had. This $130 CPU sports an unlocked multiplier, which unlike that of the 6400+, is actually usable thanks to the CPU's enormous overclocking potential. http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/22/budget_overclocker/page31.html

Recieved the CPU today and it is a G2 stepping. Very strange is that on the packed it says OPN: ADO5000DSWOF but on the CPU itself it says ADO5000IAA5DS. Strange too is that AMD itself says that ADO5000DSWOF is stepping G1 but the ADO5000IAA5DS is G2 acording to Toms Hardware.
