According to VR-Zone, Intel today formally announced its intention to transfer CPU Core i7 720 with a revision to the C-0 D-0 as soon as possible. Remember that this model is the youngest of a family of Core i7. With regard to older models, it has no changes planned.
It is not clear why Intel chose to do so, because the processor giant, in its notice (Product Change Notice) is silent about this, but nerehod Core i7 920 at the new audit will result in a change in labeling of circuits, which change with SLBCH to SLBEJ. Note only that. that the value of CPUID from Core 920 with the new audit - 0 × 000106A5 instead of 0 × 000106A4 from previous versions. In addition, since the chip packaging will be removed serial number.
It is not difficult to guess, for an update you need to update the BIOS of the motherboard. Delivery of Core i7 920 audit D0 in both Box and OEM versions are scheduled for 2 March and 10 April this year respectively.
