Re: intersting conclusion to an AMD/intell comparison
according to dailytech, the 9700 will have the bug too but AMD is releasing it anyway, WTF??!!
DailyTech - Understanding AMD's "TLB" Processor Bug
idk how to quote so this is the best i can do:
"The delayed Phenom 9700 is affected by the TLB bug, though AMD insiders tell DailyTech the upcoming 2.6 GHz Phenom 9900 is not affected. This indicates Phenom 9900 will carry the B3-stepping designation."
Review on TLB bios patch
Phenom TLB patch benchmarked - The Tech Report - Page 1
Takes about a 14% performance hit overall, and in synthetic memory tests all the way up to 57%.
And I've been thinking this for awhile, this TLB thing should have been spotted long before Phenom was presented publicly and certainly shows that AMD is not on top of things. Let's hope the new revision fixes everything.
