Upgrade Service was a service offered by Intel allowing specific models to be upgraded via software. The service was introduced in late September 2010 with Westmere and was later expanded with Sandy Bridge in 2011. The service was discontinued in 2013.
Compatible models
Only a handful of models could be upgraded via this service:
| Compatible Model | Post-Upgrade Model | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model | Frequency | Cache | Model | Frequency | Cache |
| Core i3-2312M | 2.1 GHz | 3 MiB | Core i3-2393M | 2.5 GHz | 4 MiB |
| Core i3-2332M | Core i3-2394M | ||||
| Core i3-2102 | 3.1 GHz | 3 MiB | Core i3-2153 | 3.6 GHz | 3 MiB |
| Pentium G622 | 2.6 GHz | 3 MiB | Pentium G693 | 3.2 GHz | 3 MiB |
| Pentium G632 | Pentium G694 | ||||
| Pentium G6951 | Pentium G6952 | ||||
Additionally, those models can only be upgraded with:
- 6 Series Chipsets (Cougar Point)
- 5 Series Chipsets (Ibex Peak)
Mechanism
Upgrade could be done by purchasing a scratch-off card from a store such as Best Buy. A software was then required to be installed which requires the code on the card to be activated.
