AMD's New X4 Quad Core
In the release the awaited Phenom X4 9850, AMD hopes to leave some of the problems that plaged the earlier revisions of the AMD quad behind. Problems such as the TLB bug which hobbled the performance. AMD is also going back to the X4 naming convention that they toyed with before the Phenom launch. Phenoms will now carry the X4 designation for quads and X3 for tri-cores (quads with a faulty core disabled). The Phenom X4 9850 ships with a 2.5GHz clock speed and should be avaliable in retailers soon.
