| AMD Says Barcelona Bug Is Fixed, Almost Ready to Ramp While the Barcelona and Budapest chips have been tweaked, AMD is not yet able to push the 65 nanometer processes used to make its chips any harder in terms of yields at higher clock speeds, and so the Barcelonas are still coming out running at 2 GHz and 2.3 GHz in the B3 stepping; the chips still have 2 MB of L3 cache as well. According to Knox, the current schedule is to get the low-voltage "Highly Efficient" Opteron HE variants of Barcelona out the door in the second quarter, running at 1.8 GHz and 1.9 GHz, and that the "Special Edition" Opteron SE variants, which clock higher at 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz (and burn a lot hotter than the 75-watts of the standard Opterons) are due "later this year." Knox says that the sweet spot in the market will be the standard Opteron parts, and AMD is not worried that SE parts are not readily available...
