| Section | Meaning | Description |
| AA | Major Release Number | This section represents the major release version of the product. It is usually associated with a major change in features and/or new platform/chipset launches. |
| BB | Minor (Maintenance) Release Number | This section represents the minor release version of the product. If this number is non-zero, then the release is a minor release of the major release version. This can represent a maintenance release with several bug fixes, or it can align with a platform refresh. |
| CC | Hot Fix Release Number | This section represents customer specific hot fixes. If this number is non-zero, then the release addresses a customer specific hot fix request to resolve their specific issue. These releases are not fully validated and are only intended for a specific customer. |
| DDDD | Release Build Number (Prior Intel® VROC 9.2) | This section represents the build number of the release. For production releases, the build number generally begins with the number '1' (for example, AA.BB.CC.1001). |
| EEEEE | Release Build Number (Starting with Intel® VROC 9.2) | This section represents the build number of the release. For production releases starting with Intel® VROC version 9.2, the build number will consist of five digits instead of four (for example, AA.BB.CC.10001). |
| Five-Digit Release Build String Change | With the addition of the five-digit release build string starting with Intel® VROC 9.2, there may be an impact to system vendors who have manufacturing scripts that monitor and set for the initial four-digit release build string instead. |
