Ivy Bridge different steppings

[Magic Carpet]

According to Intel ARK, i5-3570 uses N0, while i5-3570K, i7-3770 and i7-3770K all use the E1 stepping instead.

What's so magical about N0?

well, 3570K and the i7s have the 16EUs GPU, the 3570 only 6...

I suspect its because the 3570 only has the HD2500. All the others have the HD4000, which mean a good deal more transistors...

There are four different Ivy dies out there, the N0 is four cores plus HD2500. E1 is four cores plus HD4000.

Hope that explains.
