As far as I know the /5 or /10 is just a margin parameter. Something like
with 5% or with 10% of timing in the spec sheet. It has nothing to do with
revs.

A friend of mine just got his 32532 chipset from the U.K. The
CPU revision number is C/10, whereas the ones shipped with the
original kits + those recently purchased by Steve are C/5. Can
someone summarize the differences between the two revs? I posted
a request for the current C/5 bugsheet awhile back and nobody
responded.

Oh yeah. FPU is still D/10 and ICU is rev G.

I have the complete set of numbers off this "new" chipset if anyone
is interested.
