AMD is LAUNCHING the K10 on the B1 stepping, per everyone else. Then B2 in Q4. At any rate, it is unlikely that B1 has any huge performance bugs. These results fit precisely with what AMD themselves claimed.... up to 10-15% better IPC than the K8. About in the ballpark of Conroe/Kentsfield per clock. Better on some bandwidth-heavy server stuff & HPC, worse on desktop apps.
