Next 4770K Stepping Release?

[idahosurge]

Is there anyway to find out when a 4770K C2 or D0 stepping CPU will be released to retail stores?

I'd like to know this as well.

Where are you coming up with these stepping names? There is no mentioned yet anywhere that a new stepping will be released.

I suppose those "names" are just a guess from the OTS.

However, imo it is quite safe to assume that at some point there will be a new stepping, since Haswell will be the top mainstream CPU for at least 2 years.
I wouldn't expect a new stepping before the Haswell refresh launch in combination with the 9-Series chipsets though.

me too
My tips for HSWL refresh:

-better VCIN control, lower heat inside
-higher OC and "no coldbug" (the similar as Ivy Bridge)
-fix some bugs-> a bit higher performance (1-1.5% IPC), +100-200 MHz higher default clock for top i7

I highly doubt there is going to be a Haswell refresh tbh. People been waiting for this to happen with Ivy for months as well, and nothing did happen.

In about 6 Months, Broadwell is going to be released.

Some of the more recent Batches (L315 with smaller lot numbers) seem to be halfway decent overclockers though (4,5 Ghz around 1,15-1,2V). Same applies for some L317 CPUs.
