will there be a new name for repaired sandy bridges?

Just wondering how we will tell if we are getting a new repaired sandy bridge board or just original broken old stock from the retailers? Are Intel planning on giving the new fixed 6 series chipset a new name/designation so we know we are buying a good/fixed board rather than a dud one?

I think it's Cougar Point, revision B3.

I'm sure the boards (and packaging) will be marked. (B3 or some other designation)

New chips will be labeled as B3 revision or later. They won't change the name from Cougar Point P67/H67 because of a bug.
