D0 Stepping core i7 920
Just seen it for pre-order. Is this the really overclockable version or something?

One of the serial numbers was partially covered so they modded the IHS. The insides are the same.

These CPUs definitely should run cooler and overclock better - there are no new features, but power consumption should be lower.
Here is a piece of news regarding i7 975XE D0 engineering sample from which we can conclude that D0 stepping is a stem in the right direction. |

some of the DO's are not as good of clockers as the CO...just do a search...you'll see...
as with all over clocking it's a crapshoot...I wouldnt seel my good CO chip to buy a DO that doesnt or may not clock as well...

It makes sense. I meant to say, that this processor has no new new functions - at the same speed it should be just as fast as the old steppings - however, overall production process has been improved, so that newer stepping is more power efficient and produces less heat? Logical?
