In the previous article devoted to benchmarking an engineering sample of a quad-core AMD Phenom we failed to "cross all t's," because this processor has a bug officially acknowledged by AMD. Now we have an AMD Phenom X4 9850 of B3 stepping, in which this bug is fixed. Since it's the fastest CPU from AMD for now, it will be interesting to compare it to Intel processors.

Today we take a look at AMD's updated Phenom CPU. Besides the slight speed bump, these B3 stepping based CPUs are now free of the "TLB Erratum" bug that AMD rightly disclosed during the launch of Phenom that causes the CPU to crash under extreme workload conditions.

AMD's 50-series Phenom processors, complete with B3 stepping, promise to put Phenom back on the map. Is there finally light at the end of the tunnel for AMD's now erratum-free chips?

The new AMD Phenom X4 50-series of processors is how Phenom should have launched back in November of last year. This stepping of Phenom doesn't offer higher performance versus the older Phenom B1 and B2 steppings, but does remove the TLB erratum that caused many consumers to skip over Phenom when considering a platform for their next system. Those that already have an AMD Socket AM2 platform now have a solid upgrade path to look forward to...

AMD has finally gone into full production with a new mask spin of their Phenom processor now dubbed the Phenom X4. The new flagship 2.5GHz Phenom X4 9850 is representative of a new revision of the native quad-core Phenom silicon that resolves the well known TLB errata. Quad-core Phenom X4 processors based on the new B3 revision silicon should be hitting store shelves in the not too distant future. In addition to resolving the TLB bug, AMD is also unveiling some higher clocked Phenoms and tri-core and low-power models too.
