BIOS file suffixed with pong

[NAlex3]

Hello.

Downloaded from Intel a BIOS update archive and inside one of the files, the latest firmware file, it's present 2 times. Once with a normal name and second with the name suffixed by pong.

Both files have a txt file with a version. The pong one has a version higher by one digit as depicted below.

Pong file : S5500.86B.01.00.0069.032620181414

Non-pong file : S5500.86B.01.00.0069.032620181413

No explanation anywhere for this.

Can someone explain this?

Thank you !
