Intel® Processor Identification Utility Engineering Sample Notification

Why is there a notification message about an engineering sample when I run the Intel® Identification utility on my system?

Intel® Processor Identification Utility will identify pre-production processors as engineering samples and notify users.

Intel® Processor Identification Utility does not fully support the engineering sample processors. Processors identified as engineering samples may or may not be able to display complete processor information.

Some engineering sample processors may show up as “Future Intel” if the utility is unable to detect the BrandString or has not added support for the latest unreleased processors.
