| AMD Phenom B3 stepping confirmed to fix TLB erratum Since not long after the release of AMD's Phenom series of CPUs, we've been informed that the infamous TLB erratum which plagues these parts, impacting their performance, will be fixed in a forthcoming 'B3' stepping. However, this assertion has been thrown into doubt in recent days due to an article on French web site EreNumeRique, which was later picked up by The Inquirer, suggesting that the erratum had not been fixed in the 'B3' stepping, creating the need for AMD to go back to the drawing board yet again for another spin of the silicon. After reading this potentially worrying story, we contacted AMD to get their take on the matter straight from the horse's mouth, and their response couldn't be much clearer.
