| Quote: | Advanced Micro Devices has confirmed a bug that can cause its new Phenom and existing Barcelona processors to lock up.
Specifically, AMD has found a bug in the translation-lookaside buffer, which can impact some of AMD's quad-core chips. AMD will rework both chips and provide a new stepping, sources said, but in the meantime motherboard manufacturers are being asked to distribute a BIOS patch that, unfortunately, reportedly cuts performance by about 10 percent. |
