Hi, I have a question regarding a CPU stepping. My note PC is $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 1994.243 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm bogomips : 3961.24 What does stepping 7 means? What core stepping is 7? I'd like to know if '7' is B1/C1/D1/...
