Nehalem also has a TLB bug

The problem Phenom had wasn't so much the bug but rather the substantial impact on performance the fix caused, bearing in mind that Phenom was already a fairly uncompetitive CPU.
 
Did anyone ever have problems with C2D's when they first came out concerning this?....... NO....

Is anyone having problems with the i7's concerning this? NO....

I sometimes think some of the comments made by people are to make themselves feel better about not having the i7 :rolleyes:
 
the really stupid thing is, the whole TLB bug made people look away from phenom a fair bit of the time, loads of stuff on this very forum about how you shouldn't buy phenom 'because its buggy', in reality i doubt any user would ever have any problems, still didn't stop people bad mouthing AMD over it though :rolleyes: though the fact everybody these days worships intel and they have a killer PR department and are endorsed by just about every major PC retailer/OEM i really doubt it'll cause any problems for intel, shame that AMD suffered and intel won't :(
 
People are still using the bugged Phenom's to this day without a problem, i dont see the i7 one being any diffrent. Im just intrested how the PR side of intel are gonna handle it (or make it disapear lol).
 
Yeah funny how different the reaction is to this compared to the phenom when this and many other forums used that bug as a reason to advise against buying a phenom now intel has it "well never mind they are issuing a fix" how times and some peoples attitudes change eh. Reality is hardly anyone will ever be troubled by this bug on any platform but there was certainly more noise made about it at the phenom time then there is now.
 
Its because AMD did the right thing and officially announced it as a problem, officially annouced the fix and unfortunately was a decent penalty in performance hit. Also lots of review sites benchmarked with the fix and other than saying you'll unlikely ever encounter it there was very little coverage on testing to see who could actually cause the BSOD from the specific problem. In all my time with one other than a pos gigabyte board that was unstable all over no matter what settings, a decent mobo and never an issue with it.

Had they hidden it and never issued a performance killing fix to retail home use boards where the issue really wouldn't have turned up, it would have sold better tbh.
 
Every CPU made since the dawn of time has had obscure errors sometimes it affects software but most of the time its a slow news story day item as they have nothing better to write about and have to put something so negative stories always gets more site hits than positive.

Its not rocket science is it!!
