To B 3 or not to B 3, that is the question wink

One bit of good news: the "B3" stepping of the Phenom CPU, which fixes the much talked-about TLB errata, is back from the fabs and looking good. Also, the triple-core and dual-core chips appear to be on track.

According to the French site, while chatting up a couple of AMD’s employees they got word that AMD has received the first Phenom B3 silicon and... wait for it... *surprise* It’s still buggy!

Apparently AMD will be doing a (quote) “new spin” on the silicon. Now, whether that means a B4 stepping or simply correcting the snafu outright, your guess is as good as ours.
