Stepping - parametr określający wersję procesora, pozwalający z grubsza określić jak dany egzemplarz różni się od egzemplarza bazowego z danej serii. Przykładowo procesor E8200 step. A0 to pierwsza seria, a E8200 step. A3 to trzecia wersja zmian pomniejszych, zaś E8200 step. B2 to jeszcze nowsza wersja z większymi modyfikacjami (ulepszenia/poprawki).

Open-loop / Closed-loop - różne podejście do sterowania pracą wentylatorów. Szczegóły poniżej:

Several fan speed controller options can control fan speed including open-loop and closed-loop fan speed control. Open-loop fan control sets a speed based on a percentage of maximum fan speed, which is typically a voltage or pulse-width modulation (PWM) duty cycle. The fan speed might be monitored to detect a fan stall, but the speed isn’t adjusted to converge on a target speed. In many cases the fan speed is not even monitored, which allows use of a slightly less expensive fan without a speed signal output (tachometer).
Closed-loop fan control provides an ideal way to control fan speed because it drives the fan to a target fan speed by measuring a tachometer signal from the fan. It then automatically adjusts the drive setting until the target speed is reached. The closed-loop fan speed method eliminates the variables that cause fan speed variation.
