    Any compelling reasons to upgrade?

    Release notes don't seem to compelling when the current seems to work pretty good.

    Well, the turbo boost driver (power driver?) that is bundled along with this has a mention of "[#]3358076 Support for K0 ULV optimizations" as a fix over the previous one...

    Empirically, I'd say no change in battery life. If it's longer, it's too subtle to notice.

    Any other difference? None. IGP is still too weak to run SC2 on it's own.
