Just ran accross this at overclockers.com: New cD0 Stepping

Before they can even get cC0's out in quantity, they're talking about a new stepping again. They're overclocking the voltage up to 1.75 this time and laying down hints of an FCPGA-2 format to be used on processors at 1GHZ(and above I guess if they come out with something). They call it an integrated heat spacer(IHS). Must be a larger mounting surface for the heatsink similar to the older Celerons. All of this is probably 3-6 months down the road.

They only give the s-specs for the OEM(at least that's what I believe) but they seem to be a little easier to remember. They will all start with SL5** or SL4Z*.

I wonder if they'll overclock even further... probably not. I can't wait for the .13 micron, that is the next time I'll buy a new chip. Hopefully by then, Intel will have the DDR platform out, or RAMBUS will be mad-cheap, and they'll have finally decided on a "long term" socket form factor...
