Ik lees net op iXBT Labs dat Intel vanaf nu alle SECC2 (Slot1) processors ook met de cC0 stepping gaat leveren in plaats van de 'oude' cB0 stepping. De cC0 stepping heeft een iets kleinere die-size en zal daarom in staat moeten zijn om een hogere snelheid te halen dan de oude stepping. De cC0 is al een tijdje in gebruik bij de FC-PGA processor:
Intel announced that its SECC2 CPUs would be using a new core. As you know, Pentium III SECC2 processors used to be based on cB0 core stepping. From now on they will be built on cC0 core, which you should be already familiar with due to the newest FC-PGA CPUs. Core with cC0 stepping is 5% smaller, which allows Intel to reduce the manufacturing expenses and to increase the stability of its products when working at higher frequencies. However, at the same time it should be pointed out that the notorious Pentium III 1.13GHz was also built with cC0 core. Though Intel keeps denying that the problems, which occurred at the frequencies over 1GHz can repeat at lower frequencies as well. So, all the SECC2 processors supporting from 600 to 933Mhz will now use new cores.
