This is true, the TLB bug is not a big deal for desktop users... a person is more likely to curse out Microsoft before they would suspect a TLB bug, BSODs and random OS lockups probably occur at probabilities 10x or 100x more often than this bug would...

However, server is where the margins are, AMD really needs to execute well there...

But honestly, this is really hearsay and rumor, so while fun to banter in a debate in back alley forums, it is a pretty mean rumor that would best be left alone .... if end of Q1 comes and volume shipments are still tardy... then we can point back and say... see... Barcelona B3 did not fix the bug... until then a pragmatic perspective is in order...

i.e. this is just a rumor, we cannot be certain.
