The general consensus on B1 Stepping is that its utter crap. I don't have anything reliable in the way of b2 stepping yet.

Sometimes you roll the dice and you get lucky tho, there have a been a few times when I bought blindly at the egg and wound up with a better than decent performing chip.

Two schools of thought on these chips.

1) Roll the dice and pick up a chip which may or may not perform marginally better than bloomfield
2) Sit tight and set aside funds till the timing is right to pounce on better performing batches + see fermi results.
