[TPU] Intel Core i7-3960X and i7-3930K CPUs Transitioning to C2 stepping in January - Page 20  

Hey guys. I have 1 simple question . I am wondering if the MM in this message is intel MM# or new version of Management engine? Here is the msg:

"The reason for this is rumored to have some stability problems, which are now, fortunately, have been resolved. Thus, buyers upgraded CPU Core i7-3960X and Core i7-3930K can enjoy the full functionality of VT-d (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I / O), which, however, is rarely used by users, but it is a high demand, for example in the workstation segment. Among other things, the audit stepping C2 will bring new value S-spec and MM, so existing motherboards will probably need to update BIOS." - So is it MM# or management engine ??? Sorry for noob question but sometimes the call both MM...

It's the MM# in this context since they mention it as one of the reasons why motherboards needed a BIOS update.

What is the point of reviving a 6 moth old thread to ask a question you could have asked in the intel forums?

I'd rather encourage people to ask questions in existing threads than spam the forum with new threads that only get a reply or two.

An existing "News" thread.

You both have points, so stop bumping this thread after the question was answered .
