The French site Erenumerique was wrong when it boldly stated that the B3 stepping contained the TLB bug, and that this would cause further delays. AMD representatives say that the bug is indeed fixed and that B3 stepping processors are still scheduled for early Q2. Instead of the higher clocked and less buggy Phenoms, the coming months will first of all introduce the tri-core models of the Phenom 8000 series, and perhaps some lower clocked Energy Efficient models. The tri-cores are expected to sport pretty much the same frequencies as the quad-cores, meaning 2.3GHz at best.
