Product Change Notification
Key Characteristics of the ChangeIntel® Pentium® N4200, Celeron®N3350 CPU stepping conversion to F-1 stepping.

Description of Change to the Customer
Intel transite the D-0 stepping of the Intel® Atom® Processor E3900 Series to F-1.
Intel transite the B-1 stepping of the Intel® Celeron® N4200 and Celeron®N3350 Processors to F-1.
The new F-1 stepping will be physically and electrically drop in compatible, but suggest to revise CPU
microcode. For more detail, please refer to Intel PCN-117143-00/ PCN116716-01.
Due to this change, Advantech Embedded SBC products MIO-2360/ PCM-9563/MIO-5350 will revise
adopted CPU to new stepping with necessary changes and sufficient tests.

Customer Impact of Change and Recommended Action
Impact on hardware design: No
Impact on BIOS changes: Yes*, require BIOS version change (microcode update)
Impact on software design: No
Impact on mechanical & thermal: No

Impact on ordering part number: Yes

Effective Items
Will have new product number to distinguish the old stepping.

Wide temp.(0~85°C)*As Intel PCN-116009-00 mentions, the original BIOS with C-0/D-0 stepping microcode may also workwith F-1 stepping processors but this combination has not been validated and Intel recommends user
to update microcode.
For standard part number user:
Suggest customer test new board with F-1 stepping CPU and updated BIOS version.
For T-part number user:
Suggest customer test new board with F-1 stepping CPU and updated BIOS version. If your T-P/N
contain a customized BIOS, please issue the request to sales/FAE to get a new customized BIOS basedon new BIOS version (microcode updated).
Once customer confirm the changes, please send a confirmation email to sales and we would apply anew T-P/N to distinguish with stepping change.
If customer need more time to validate new version, please place order before effective date withnecessary quantities.
