New style AMD CPU packaging

Upon opening the processor up, I was horrified to find that AMD have a
new packaging technique which involves laminating over the top of ALL of
the bridges.

So does this signal a rush for older/current stock rather than wait
any longer ? and if buying CPU only will this be easy to spot.

Horrified??? You should be happy! Those are the good o/c'n CPU's. My 1700
looks like that and overclocks easily to 2.5ghz.
