[soki]

Μπορει να περιμενουμε ακομα το D-0 αλλα ερχετε και αλλο stepping Ε-0 μετα απο αυτο κυριως για το νεο socket 775 αλλα και για τα δικα μας 478 συμφωνα με το xbit labs.

Chips getting the core upgrade inlcude 2.8GHz, 3GHz, 3.2GHz and 3.4GHz 478-pin 90nm P4s, the former in both its 533MHz and 800MHz frontside bus versions. So too will the upcoming 2.8GHz, 3GHz, 3.2GHz, 3.4GHz and 3.6GHz 775-pin P4s, all with an 800MHz FSB and to be branded as the Pentium 4 520, 530, 540, 550 and 560, respectively.

Ακόμα δεν βγήκε το D0 Stepping και το κάνουν E0?

Intel published some documents last week regarding the new E-0 stepping that would affect mPGA478 2.8A, 2.8E, 3.0E, 3.2E and 3.4E GHz, LGA775 520, 530, 540, 550 and 560 (2.8, 3, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 GHz) and LGA775 with EM64T 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 GHz. Apparently, E-0 step will incorporate more power optimizations and NX Bit. We have heard that LGA755 Extreme Edition will come in M0 stepping. Therefore there will be new three steppings available in the market, D0, E0 and M0.

The conversion to E-0 Step will incorporate power optimizations to enable speed enhancements

o Includes Execute Disable Bit support and additional power management features (LGA775 only)

o The CPU ID will change from 0xF34h to 0xF41h

o Updated BIOS required

o E-0 is pin compatible with D-0

o Data Sheet available July 14, 2004

New S-Specs for affected product line items
