AMD delays Phenom 2.4 GHz due to TLB errata

Comments

Huhh ?

Honest question:
Do you know what you are talking about ?

For using a Microcode update, you have to integrate it into the BIOS, so it could be loaded during system start up.

Now you praise Intel for having a MicroCode patch (obviously, loaded via a bios update) and then you criticize AMD for working on a BIOS update (obviously for a Microcode patch).

Please do a proper read up, before you are stating such nonsense ...

cheers

Alex

2.3Ghz is ok 2.4Ghz not

Is it just me or is it difficult to understand why 2.4Ghz has a big problem and needs to wait for a new revision and 2.3Ghz is just OK?

Why don't they employ round the clock development team?

re: "or will the Texas part of the company still consist out of 9 to 5vers who will go home at 5PM and not fix problems that are causing this company to bleed"

If they wanted to they could employ a night shift team for this sort of thing. In fact why not the whole hog and employ round the clock development and testing?

Do this for 2 years, it will increase costs but should buy them some tech advantage. It won't be cheap, but it's an option.
