Neoseeker Phenom 9900 Review
 

was actually quite pleased with the performance of the Phenom 9900.

Given AMD's public commitment to fixing the TLB errata, and their move
to 45nm with the "K10.5" architecture (Barcelona with some additional
improvements) I suspect that AMD will be more competitive on the high
end sometime next year.

But even until then... looking at the benchmarks, it did not seem like
the Phenom 9900 was that far behind - if it was in fact behind at
all.
