Intel Pentium E5200 moving to R-0 stepping this spring

@ 2009/03/01
If you're wondering why the E5200 is happy like it was Christmas morning be at ease as the CPU just heard that Intel will soon pimp its stepping. The move from the current M-0 stepping to R-0 will see the 2.5 GHz Pentium dual-core processor get:
- New S-spec and MM numbers
- A CPUID change - from 10677 to 1067A
- Power State Indicator (PSI) support with Intel 4 series chipsets
- New instructions (XSAVE/XRSTOR)
- A halide free package
