On Barcelona:

Engineering samples of the new B3 silicon, which fixes the TLB bug in silicon so that there\'s no performance hit, already are in the hands of some key AMD OEMs. This means Tier 1 server vendors.

Production B3 Barcelona parts will start rolling out toward the end of the first quarter (by the end of March), with volume shipments ramping up as planned in Q2.

On Phenom:

Because AMD hasn\'t seen any effect from the TLB erratum among Phenom users (as I mentioned above, it doesn\'t seriously come into play on the desktop), the company is considering shipping B2 parts without the BIOS patch. This would remove the performance hit the B2 Phenoms currently get hit with from the patch. In any case, B3 Phenoms are on the way in Q2.

In addition, two new, faster Phenoms are coming in Q2. These are the 2.4-GHz Phenom X4 9700 and the 2.6-GHz Phenom X4 9900.
