Windows 10: New evidence confirms leaked codenames of future Windows 10 updates

A new report published yesterday revealed that Microsoft is all set to change the internal codenames of Windows 10 updates. The most recent Windows 10 October 2018 Update is codenamed Redstone 5 and the Spring 2019 Update is internally referred to as “19H1”.

This is going to change as the American tech giant is planning a new approach for the post-19H1 Windows 10 release schedule.

The codenames are used by all tech giants to give names to projects whose marketing name has not yet been decided. The codenames have a meaning. For example, in the case of Windows 10 19H1 which is the codename of the next update, the “19H1” is the direct reference to its release. 19 represents the year 2019 and H1 refers to the first half of the year. That means the update would go live in the first half of 2019.

The update after 19H1 won’t be called 19H2 as the company is going for a new codename scheme. According to the rumour, Windows 10 Fall 2019 update would be codenamed Vanadium and the update set to arrive in 2020 could be called Vibranium.



To summerise:

• Redstone 5 is Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
• Windows 10 19H1 is supposed to arrive in April 2019.
• Windows 10 Vanadium is the fall 2019 update with the release date set for October 2019.
• Windows 10 Vibranium will arrive in early 2020.

It’s important to note that the marketing/public name of Windows 10 19H1, Vanadium and Vibranium is not known yet.


Elements from the Periodic Table

Interestingly, the codename “Vanadium” is an element that we usually see in the Periodic Table. But Vibranium is the material used for making Captain America’s shield.

New evidence confirms the report


A new evidence discovered in Windows 10 Build 18272 has confirmed that the leaked codenames of the Windows 10 updates are real and there is a chance that the late 2020 update will be called Manganese, which is also an element.

​

The first two releases of Windows 10 were codenamed Threshold and Microsoft switched to Redstone for total five difference Windows 10 releases. The new codenames are unique but this isn’t a new thing for Microsoft as the company has previously allotted codenames like “Caprock” to Surface devices and the Microsoft’s Azure update is codenamed Titanium (another element).

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.
