What is E6 Steppig on an Athlon 64 3500 CPU

[imported_Sambo]

I am looking at the AMD 64 3500 chips and am wondering what the latest SKU number ending in BW is all about. The chip is listed as a Venice core, but I thought BP on the end of the SKU denoted Venice. Looking on AMD's web site lists the part as differing from the other 3500 chips in it's stepping of E6. What does E6 stepping denote?

How is that different from the E3 stepping on the Venice core?

Supposedly people have been getting better overclocks.

They clock like the early E3 steppigns like week 15, 16, 17 which rocked.
