@necroman FAIL!

This is what a GT215 40nm core looks like: http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/1192/Core.jpg

While the picture here is too poor to make it clear unequivocally what it actually is, it’s pretty clear that there is at least a ’100′ on the chip.

Those N10E-GLM small cores are actually GT215 40nm cores, FAIL.

A discarded die from a wafer wouldn’t make it to a PCB and under the IHS’, a higher leakage sample however would. Not that I’m saying any of the sort, I don’t believe there is enough evidence either way.

For me the missing numbers tells me how many discarded dies it is from a wafer.
