Wichtig wäre zu erwähnen, wie man die neuen Steppings erkennt ohne einbauen zu müssen.
Bzw. die Verpackung zu öffnen.

an der Produkt beschreibung beim Händler/Verkäufer bzw der Verpackung, was aber etwas recherge vorraus setzt
bsp: q6600 ist es ein g0 step steht SLACR im code auf der packung, ist es ein b3 step steht SL9UM mit drauf, in abgewandelter form auch beim i7 so.

Hallo Redaktion, gerade gefunden, bitte ergänzen: Freitag, 20. Januar, 2012!
Habe meinen vor 20 Tagen bei Alternate bestellt. Zur Zeit noch nicht lieferbar.
Offensichtlich hat Intel es wohl doch nötig, Kunden anzufüttern und dann stehen zu lassen. Hauptsache man hat den Konkurrenten auf dem Papier überholt.
Daß der C1-Prozessor derart fehlerverseucht, daß Intel ihn lieber garnicht erst ausliefert, läßt tief blicken.
Aber was soll’s, avanti C2-Processore! Verdammt: Noch bis Freitag, 20. Januar 2012 warten ist höllenunlässig. Brauche eine Zeitmaschine.
Intel Core i7-3960X and i7-3930K CPUs Transitioning to C2 stepping in January
As previously reported, Intel’shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif first wave of Sandy Bridge-E processors have VT-d (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O) disabled due to an errata in the C1 stepping. That issue couldn’t be resolved in time for the launch but it’s getting fixed with the C2 stepping which is set to start rolling out to customers on January 20th, 2012 (samples have already been delivered).
The CPUs moving to the C2 stepping are the hexa-core Core i7-3960X (3. 3 GHz) and Core i7-3930K (3.2 GHz). Beside the fixed VT-d, the C2 chips will feature new S-spec and MM numbers so a BIOS update for current motherboards will likely be required.Intel Core i7-3960X and i7-3930K CPUs Transitioning to C2 stepping in January | techPowerUp

Riecht nach Engineering Sample, wenn ich mich recht entsinne waren beim QX6700 auch ES mit 1,6 GHz im Umlauf. Zu mal der «kleinste» Xeon — E5-2650L 1,8 GHz hätte.

Dann kann ich davon ausgehen das diese jetzt im Handel angekommen sind? Und keine alten «C1-Reste» verschickt wurden?
Edit:
OK, zumindest bei MF scheint es sich noch um das alte C1-Stepping zu handeln.

About Relationship Counselling
Couple relationships predictably enter a phase of conflict or stress. In fact, relationship experts predict a conflict phase in most romantic long term relationships. Frequently the issues are sorted out and the relationship progresses or returns to its previous state. Often, however, when the issues can not be resolved, you may find that your relationship escalates into anger and resentment, avoidance of the core issues, sadness, emptiness or a lack of hope for the future.
Couple counselling promotes open communication between the partners. Each partner is given the chance to clearly state their view and the couple learns new skills for communication and intimacy. If both parties become willing participants, conflict can often be resolved, trust can be restored and past resentments can be overcome.
Relationship Counselling Helps You Stop Fighting & Gets You Really Relating
Relationship counselling is an opportunity for a fighting or dissatisfied couple to share their concerns in a safe and secure environment. While this sounds simple, it can be a powerful and life-changing experience for a dissatisfied couple to learn to hear and attend to each other’s concerns without defensiveness or conflict.
An experienced couple’s counsellor acts as a relationship mediator and teacher. He or she will help you talk openly and honestly about your issues, she will make sure both sides of the story are ‘heard’. She will train you to become better communicators and active listeners. She will help you identify the underlying frustrations behind your arguments, and help you to reconnect and rekindle lost intimacy.
Initially, your relationship counsellor will likely ask you each to share your view of the problem you are having. Your counsellor may also enquire about relevant aspects of your history as a couple, and any relevant individual history (for example, previous relationships, mental or physical health issues, past traumas). She will listen to each side of the story, helping each person to understand the other’s point of view, and helping to elucidate and clarify any misunderstandings in the way you communicate as a couple. This is often an essential insight because the vast majority of dissatisfied couples find that it is misunderstood communication that is at the heart of their problems. For example, he says “I’m just going to clean up the kitchen” and she hears it as “You’re doing a bad job keeping the kitchen clean”. The therapist may clarify what the message being sent was intended to convey. This may for example be “I am going to clean the kitchen, I would love to spend some time with you. Can you come be with me while I do it.”
By clarifying the underlying needs represented by each partners everyday communications, the therapist is able to show the couple a new more compassionate way of looking at the issues which include each partner’s desires and vulnerabilities, as well as practical strategies for improving the situation at home.
Why not to put off Relationship Counselling
Couples seek out relationship counselling for a variety of reasons and at different times or phases during their relationship. Many couples wait too long before seeking help. They avoid the problem, or fail to recognise it until they are really unhappy, or they are too embarrassed to admit that their relationship just isn’t working. This is a shame, most relationship problems are caused by small communication issues which eventually escalate and fester over time. Bad communication can lead to ongoing misunderstandings and arguments. The couple may start to limit communication leading to further feelings of disconnectedness and a lack of intimacy. Sexual difficulties are a natural result of such dynamics.
The issues we work with as Relationship Counsellors
Issues frequently presented by couples who attend counselling are:
- Arguments that recur often with neither party being clear about the underlying issue
- Arguments about a repeated disappointment with the other person such as their lack of attention, cleanliness, care, intelligence or commitment.
- Trust issues following infidelity or because of unresolved issues of jealousy
- Sexual issues, such as a discrepancy between the partner’s sexual desire, a lack of sexual intimacy, or frustration with the lack of one partner’s willingness to initiate sex
- The impact of significant life changes, such as the birth of a baby, illness or a big move
- Conflict with other family members, including children, step-families and in-laws
- Cultural or religious difference or conflict
- Personal issues impacting the relationship, such as depression or addiction
- Financial worry
What is Family Therapy?
Most issues that affect a couple affect their children as well. Family therapy is an opportunity for the entire family to seek assistance from a counsellor. The therapy works in a similar way to couples therapy, providing the opportunity to air grievances and concerns, develop communication skills and improve relationships.
Commonly, family therapy involves teenage and adult children only. Family therapy acknowledges that the children of a relationship are commonly impacted emotionally by the issues experienced by their parents, and the family meetings facilitate a solution that works for all members concerned. At other times, family therapy can be useful for solving issues between adult family members, such as disagreements over business decisions, deceased estates or care of elderly parents.

Ok i need some clarification with this product. It says 3.2 Ghz, but has a 3.8 Ghz turbo boost feature. What is this? Does this mean it can only Be
be OC to 3.8 or What? Or does that mean that its only 3.8 in certain situations?Regards, solthegreat.

It will boost it’s self to 3.
8Ghz when it’s under heavy load I believe. It’s irrelevant in terms to overclocking, but you can overclock your turbo for a bit more power efficiency.

Turbo boost is when the chip will OC itself from 3.2 to 3.8 but I’m not 100% sure when it does it(I think it does it when its around 100% usage). You can still OC the chip yourself to what the other SB chips are capable of. So around 5.0 should be doable.

Previous posters were… kind of right.
The 3.8GHz is its max Turbo mode, which means that when only one CPU core is active, that CPU core will tun at 3.8GHz. When something is stressing two cores, it runs a bit slower; when four cores are stressed, it runs slower. 3.2GHz is just the slowest it’ll run.
«K» means it’s fully unlocked, so your OC is only limited by your cooling.
Super casual.

Regardless of the cores used, under load the CPU will always clock itself to 3.8GHz by standard.

Im also pretty sure speed stepping is enabled on 2011 boards. So it would run quite a bit below 3.2GHz, like 1600MHz.

7GHz would be max multiplier, you cannot go above it so can you really call it a record?

What Nellah said is essentially what turbo boost is all about. That’s how it works, it puts other cores in a C3/C6/Cwhatever state and overclock the others..
However I can’t find the data if this is true for the Sandy Bridge E line. I take it you can provide a source that so isn’t the case?

Sandy bridge E doesn’t have to rely on multiplier overclocking in the same way as 1155 SB.
You can increase bus speed by quite a lot and thus get higher clock speeds. Whether this video is a record or not I don’t really know or care.

It might be because English is not my mother-tongue, but I don’t see the need to turn off cores to overclock others mentioned anywhere in the article you linked.

The number of active cores at any given instant
dictates the upper limit of Intel® Turbo Boost
technology. For this discussion, a core is
considered ‘active’ if it is in the “C0” or “C1” state;
cores in the “C3” or “C6” state are considered
‘inactive’. The upper limits will vary on a perprocessor number basis. For example, one
particular processor may allow up to two
frequency steps (266.66 MHz) when just one core
is active and one frequency step (133.33 MHz)
when two or more cores are active. Therefore,
higher deep C-state residency (“C3” or “C6”) on
some cores will generally result in increased core
frequency on the active cores.Aand then the rest of it. Any decent reviewing site should also mention what the turbo boost feature really is about. I believe that with the introduction of Lynnfield, Anantech made a very good explanation of what turbo boost was. Edit: Anandtech’s Turbo boost homework page
Think about it. If it was as simple as that the CPU will go to 3.8 GHz whenever it felt like, then why wouldn’t they just not simply call it a 3.8GHz processor instead of this turbo mumbo?
But then I do recall hearing the SB-E having a way more aggressive turbo. I don’t know if the rules became completely different. I’m sure it could turbo higher than 3.2 even with all six cores active. I don’t know by how much. I recall reading 300-400 MHz.

I always blindly assumed it was intel’s way to save power and maximize performance when needed. Then I thought they slapped a fancy name on it to get more people to buy it (Turbo Boost sounds awesome to some).
I guess I was wrong.

With five or six cores active, it turbos to 3.5GHz. With three or four, it goes to 3.6GHz… one or two cores is 3.8GHz. It does not run 3.8GHz all the time.
When idle, it’ll drop down pretty low, my 2500K idles at 1600MHz even when I have the Turbo set to 50x for benchmarking.

The photo clearly shows two blocked, but physically existing cores, which Intel does not hide 🙂 |
free multipliers and more cores will be added to them. We will talk in detail about the characteristics of the Core i7-3900 a little later, but in the meantime, we note that both are six-core. Just like Core i7-900 on Gulftown, i.e. there was no increase in the number of cores in Intel desktop processors. Just 10 months of this year, the company offered either a new architecture, but in the amount of four cores — or six cores, but old ones. This made the choice very difficult, since in low-threaded applications (which are the vast majority among desktop software), the Sandy Bridge architecture won, but in some tasks, with the help of brute force, the “oldies” came out ahead. Now you don’t have to be torn between smart and beautiful — the new Core i7-3
4-2- 1

participation of only four processors — two new and two old. Such a limited set is quite justified in both cases. The Core i7-3820 has not yet fallen into our hands, and, as mentioned above, nothing particularly interesting should be expected from it. But the Core i7-3930K and 3960X, on the contrary, are very curious. And both: as you can see, Intel decided not to limit itself to just different clock frequencies (it is almost the same for both models — it differs by only 100 MHz, that is, only 3%), and they also divided the processors by L3 cache capacity, so that you can’t turn a junior into a senior, despite the free multipliers.
By the way, as for the frequency, let’s draw your attention to the fact that the new extremal has lower frequencies than the old one. The starting one differs by 166 MHz, while the working one is still more interesting. Unfortunately, at the moment we do not know the exact scheme of how Turbo Boost works, but the version most similar to the truth is «6-5-4-3-2-1», i.e. one «bin» at full load, and then each the kernel that has gone into hibernation adds one more. Thus, when all cores are fully loaded, the maximum clock speed is 3960X will be 200 MHz lower than 990X — 3.4 versus 3.6. Let’s remember this fact — somewhere it can affect. But when the cores are not fully loaded, everything is fine in the 3900 due to the fact that the aggressiveness of Turbo Boost is brought almost to the level of Core i7 under LGA1156: one core is generally able to “overclock” by 600 MHz, so 3930K catches up, and 3960X completely overtakes even the Core i7-2600, let alone the 990X.
In general, comparisons within this four promise to be very interesting. And we don’t need any more processors for testing. Indeed, this pair was previously the fastest for Intel. Now, of course, the 2700K has appeared, but it has not yet fallen into our hands, and it differs from the 2600 in normal mode by only 100 MHz. And the top AMD models in the overall standings are still heroically fighting Core i5 or old Core i7, so adding them to an article where the slowest and cheapest processor is the Core i7-2600 can only be in the role of «whipping boys» (which only the price can excuse. We will not be doing this.
Testing
Traditionally, we divide all tests into a number of groups, and show the average result for a group of tests/applications on the diagrams (detailed testing methodology can be found in a separate article). The results on the diagrams are given in points, the performance of the iXBT.com reference test system of the 2011 sample is taken as 100 points. It is based on the AMD Athlon II X4 620 processor, but the amount of memory (8 GB) and the video card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1280 MB by Palit) are standard for all tests of the «main line» and can only be changed as part of special studies. Those who are interested in more detailed information are again traditionally invited to download a table in Microsoft Excel format, in which all the results are shown both in converted points and in «natural» form.
Interactive work in 3D packages
As expected, the i7-990X turned out to be an obvious outsider — six cores are not required here, while Sandy Bridge architecture processors have higher performance per megahertz, and these same megahertz due to aggressive Turbo Boost more. But here they are all approximately equal here, which is also not a surprise — the same number of cores actually work, what is there, what is there. And the frequencies are comparable.
Final rendering of 3D scenes
We expected the SB-E to have a slightly larger lead over Gulftown, but didn’t account for the difference in clock speeds. However, even the «extra» 300 MHz did not allow the 990X to at least catch up with the 3930K, but the 3960X is even faster. In general, albeit small, but a step forward. For less money — after all, the direct competitor of the 3930K in terms of price is the 980, not the 990X. And the Core i7-2600 was left far behind — among this four it is the only quad-core, which previously could not be fully compensated for by an improved architecture. Moreover, it does not help the competition with the same Sandy Bridge, but six-core.
Packing and unpacking
7-Zip’s ability to divide work into at least 16 threads and the love of decompression tests for cache memory capacity previously allowed the 990X to bypass the 2600 in the overall standings, but now its time is over — 3930K is the same in terms of the number of cores and volume L3. And a slightly lower clock frequency against the background of an improved architecture is lost. The 3960X is even faster — it has an «extra» 100 MHz and 3 MiB L3.
Audio Encoding
A pure multi-threaded load test that doesn’t appreciate Sandy Bridge architecture improvements too much. But what’s there is enough to beat the higher clocked Gulftown.
Compilation
As we have already noted more than once, compilers are generally satisfied with old microarchitectures, so here the gain from the new one is even less. But it is also there, so our newcomers once again take the first and second places, respectively 🙂 refers to a large amount of cache memory. Therefore, here the beginners even managed to noticeably bypass 2600, and about superiority over 990X is not worth mentioning — it has not shone here before.
Raster graphics
Some of the tests have multi-threaded optimization (of varying degrees of success), but earlier this did not allow six old cores to beat four new ones by the total score. But six new ones, of course, again defeat everyone.
Vector graphics
There are no noticeable gains compared to the i7-2600 — 3930K turned out to be even slower, and 3960X only caught up with the no longer older processor for LGA1155. On the other hand, we did not count on them — applications are single-threaded, high cache memory capacity is not needed, RAM requirements are also small. So the main question was: “How much faster are the new processors Core i7-990X?» We see that it is about the same as the i7-2600 is faster, and we calm down on this.
Video encoding
But in this group, six cores were faster than four. However, architectural improvements should not be neglected either — thanks to them, the 2600 was not so far behind the 990X, and the difference from the 970 was generally purely symbolic. But the SB-E has six cores and a new architecture with a clear bottom line. Again — despite the lower clock frequency, which should not be forgotten.
Office software
Only FineReader supports multiple computation threads, but it is enough for multi-core processors to win, other things being equal. But with unequal — not enough 🙂 However, as we have said more than once, when testing processors more expensive than one and a half to two hundred dollars, this diagram is purely illustrative — in fact, a sufficient level of performance (for the naked eye of a simple user) is demonstrated by much simpler and cheap appliances. So let’s just state the obvious fact that the new six-core processors are doing just as well here as the new quad-core processors; and in general — everything is better with new processors than with old ones, which we calm down on.
Java
Java-machine, as we already know very well, can utilize more than 12 threads, and it likes “real” cores more than Hyper-Threading. That’s why the 990X outperformed the 2600 earlier in this test. Well, now it lags just as noticeably behind the 3930K and 3690X, since the architectural improvements that improve the performance of each thread are no less important than the number of threads. Note, by the way, that this is almost the only case of almost linear scaling in terms of the number of cores — if all applications were like this, Intel’s skepticism about increasing the number of cores in mainstream processors could be considered unjustified. However, since there are very few such examples, we quite share it 🙂
Games
Here is just a striking counterexample — in fact, all of our subjects are too powerful for the task, so you can only find the difference between them with a microscope. However, one of the advantages of LGA2011 over LGA1155 is the support for a large number of PCIe lanes, which encourages the use of multi-GPUs, and in this case, you can already look for any differences. At least, there is reason to believe this, if you look at the results of optional tests with low graphics quality. However, even there we are talking about only about 10%, and even then — mainly due to applications where there is already “a lot” of performance: such as Batman or the old FarCry2. Thus, the gaming sphere is still not the best field for the use of six-core processors. And the only positive thing is that now the six-core models are at least as good as the quad-core ones.
Multitasking environment
And again we turn to one of the «experimental» tests of the methodology — it’s interesting 🙂 cache capacity. So let’s see — does it matter? The essence of the test is simple: five benchmarks are launched almost simultaneously (with a pause of 15 seconds), while all tasks are assigned a “background” status (no window is active). The result is the geometric mean of the execution times of all tests. More detailed information can be obtained from the description of the testing methodology, but for now let’s just look at the results.
What’s interesting is that the increased cache capacity only gets in the way. And the difference between the new and old architectures is extremely small. Those. in a multitasking environment, brute force is still a good way to solve problems. Naturally, in the case when we are talking about competition «at the top»: as we remember, the budget segment has its own nuances — the new Pentiums almost catch up with the old Core i3, although the latest computation threads have more. But the old Core i7 already easily bypass the new Core i5. And a little higher in the rankings is enough . .. just to have six cores. Or more. But which one doesn’t really matter.
Total
The good thing about evolution is that it gives everyone a reason to rejoice 🙂 Progress lovers will note with deep satisfaction the fact that new top processors are faster than old ones, both Core i7-2000 and Core i7 -900. Those who have already bought a processor from one of the mentioned families, on the contrary, will be happy because the superiority of the new products is not so radical, i.e. the purchase made cannot be considered unjustified. The man who was torn between the desire to buy a Core i7-2600K or a Core i7-980 can now, with a clear conscience, go to the store and purchase a Core i7-3930K — the choice is no longer ambiguous. And those who stared at the 990X, but could only afford 980, will be pleased with the appearance of a model with the performance of the first processor and the price of the second. The true enthusiast, who has always preferred Intel’s extreme models over the cheaper ones, will surely rejoice in the fact that the «high-end» upgrade is now even more significant than the transition from 975 to 9 was. 80X — the second sometimes lost to the first, but now there is no such thing (well, castling like 965-975 or 980X-990X is not worth mentioning). Nobody offended even AMD fans — they can still be glad that their favorite company is ready to sell them cheap six-core and even «eight-core» processors, while Intel’s multi-core processors have not become more affordable (albeit they have become more fast). In the end, you can drink champagne, if only because the standard cooler mounting system in LGA2011 is human — the idiocy of plastic legs LGA775 (later inherited by both LGA1366 and LGA1156/1155) did not affect this platform. In a word, from which side you do not look — everything is wonderful 🙂
Seriously, this is really just an example of normal evolution. The «dual power» in the top desktop segment is over — LGA2011 combines all the advantages of both LGA1155 (new architecture, free multiplier cheaper than $1,000) and LGA1366 (up to six cores, bus overclocking, a large number of PCIe lanes). True, some shortcomings of current platforms from Intel (in particular, the lack of built-in support for USB 3.0 or SATA at once “two degrees of freshness”) also have not gone away, but everything is clear with them — if everything is done perfectly right away, then there will be nothing to improve in next year. The same is true with regard to clock speeds: it is obvious that Intel could easily «throw» a couple of hundred megahertz more on both processor models, but this is left for future improvements in the line. In general, the platform turned out to be successful. Albeit only for those who really need all its advantages and, most importantly, are ready to pay for just one processor an amount equal to the price of an average computer, but successful. Although not revolutionary, but, as we already wrote, we like this evolution even more 🙂

Steppings in processors — what is it and what is it for

Published: 8 August 2022
Let’s take a closer look at today’s article.
What is stepping
Translated from English, “stepping” sounds like “step-by-step change”. In the digital world, stepping refers to the version number of a PC part or certain software. The existing changes, which have different markings, are not cardinal. They look like some edits to fix minor bugs.
Processor stepping is called the revision of the kernel on which it is based. In other words, during the manufacture of one CPU core, it is refined and some parameters are changed: they increase the level of energy saving, reduce the amount of heat dissipation, introduce new functionality and increase overclocking potential. The rule is appropriate here: the higher the stepping, the better the computer works.
Note that as a result of stepping, the manufacturing technology and architecture of the core do not change. Therefore, you should pay attention to the information in the CPU article, which indicates the serial number of the stepping.
When making minor edits, the serial number changes according to the principle from C0 to C1 — that is, a number increased by one is assigned. And with large changes, another letter designation is already indicated — from G0 to E0. The result is a different series of upgrades. And when the CPU has been produced for a long time and is constantly being upgraded by the manufacturer, then R0 can also be found.
Is there any benefit from stepping
Global modernization entails significant changes. During them, the following may happen:
- the number of cores increases;
- new graphics cores are added;
- controllers are improving;
- CPU form factor changes;
- there is a new socket connection option.
As a result of minor updates, there is a certain polishing of an already released platform. It does not affect the external and internal characteristics. In this case, developers can refine the chip production technology on the existing technical process and fix security bugs in hardware.
Such actions will not change the power parameters of the CPU, but minor flaws will be optimized at the hardware level.
Stepping allows you to stabilize the cores in the process of reaching the peak clock speed and get support for new options. But it should be said that the new stepping does not always bring a positive result. In particular, for ordinary users. And if for a corporate consumer the implemented security patches turn out to be the right solution, then for an ordinary user these changes will be superfluous. In addition, these actions can reduce the computing power of the «gems» in certain applications.
But there is another situation when the new stepping does not have a negative effect. Indeed, in solving some problems, it will become useful. For example, R0 for Coffee Lake Refresh took a small share of the performance from the chips, but at the same time increased the overclocking potential of the cores and the memory controller. After the implemented changes, the CPUs began to function more stable at maximum frequencies with the multithreading technology installed.
In addition, the results in overclocking RAM have improved.
A striking example of an updated revision is the release of the B2 stepping for the Ryzen line. Model 7 5800X3D with a hybrid cache has started to be produced on the basis of B2 stepping silicon. According to experts who worked with the new chip and compared its capabilities with the initial version, the new stepping provides reduced leakage currents. Whence follows the conclusion that the work of transistors in the upgraded chip is performed clearly and without errors, even at low voltage.
And if the Ryzen 7 5800X stepping B0 requires at least 1.0-1.462 V for normal operation under heavy load, then the updated Ryzen 7 5800X3D on silicon version B2 needs only 0.95-1.281 V. This leads to lower temperatures, increased energy efficiency and increases overclocking margin.
How to find out the stepping
This moment is usually determined when choosing a processor. That is, the characteristics that the chip will have in the final assembly are studied in advance.
You can find out the revision by the external indicators of the part. For example, an Intel CPU has a special code that is located on the heat spreader cover and begins with SR-. By this code you can find information about the amendments made. But it is not advertised on public platforms and you will have to read specialized resources like thematic forums.
But the stepping code for the AMD processor is not written on the cover. To find out, you need a special program. Specialists use CPU-Z. This utility knows best about CPU parameters. You can download it from the official website, then install it on your computer and run it. The necessary information about stepping is in the sections Stepping and Revision. Note that this method is also suitable for Intel processors.
Output
Sepping is good first of all for those who are just going to purchase a new platform and are determined with the best option. It will not give significant advantages to experienced users in their work.
It should also be borne in mind that the CPU based on the new stepping requires motherboard updates to the latest BIOS version.
