Dear editor,



We have just posted Intel Core i7 D0 Core Performance Advantage Revealed
Rev. 2.0.



Quote : When first launched on November 17, 2008, Intel offered three Core
i7 models based on the C0 core stepping. They followed this up with the new
D0 core stepping on May 31, 2009. The first processors to feature the new D0
stepping was the Core i7-975 Extreme Edition, the Core i7-950 and the Core
i7-920. This was followed up lately by the Core i7-960 on October 20, 2009.

Stepping is another word for a revision number. It is basically a way for
microprocessor manufacturers to designate "steps" in the evolution of their
microprocessor designs. Instead of using a revision number (1.1 -> 1.2),
they use a combination of a letter and a number (B0 -> B1). So what's the
big deal about core steppings? Read on and find out!




In this revision, we updated the test results as well as the accompanying
tables and charts. We also updated the guide and corrected various mistakes
in the guide.
