What variant is CD8160? #
“CD8160 was the silkscreen used in early mass production. As PC/server models entered production, all silkscreen numbers were standardized to C*8180. CD8160 is no longer supplied.”
Cix P1 variants like CD8160 are all the same SoC from different batches in production. There are no differences.
