Windows 10: Windows 10 20H1 update is a step closer to public rollout

Today, Microsoft is rolling out Windows 10 20H1 Build 19030 to the beta testers and just like the last few preview updates, this one also comes with minor improvements.

As we reported in October, Microsoft is shifting to a new December and June RTM cycle, which could mean that the Windows 10 feature updates will launch early. At least for now, the report seems to be correct.

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 Build 19030 removes Insider Preview watermark, suggesting an imminent RTM of Windows 10 20H1 update and possible early public rollout.

Microsoft says Windows 10 20H1 isn’t done yet, which makes sense as the company has to iron out the remaining bugs.

Normally, we don’t expect the first update of the year to ship before the spring, but it’s likely that Windows 10 20H1 will begin shipping to consumers early. Although the watermark has been removed and RTM build is expected to be signed off in December, you should not expect the update before March.

“The build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop is no longer present in this build. This doesn’t mean we’re done,” the changelog reads.

Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:

• New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
• Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
• Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
• K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
• Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support

The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.
