Another bad news again for Hardware aficionados, AMD pull-out once again the release of Phenom 9700 and 9900, their reason is to concentrate on lower power consumption chips. Both CPUs were initially expected by the end of this winter but AMD has shifted to a more greener 1.8GHz Phenom 9100E CPU. AMD denies rumours that the delay is due to to continued issues with the TLB bug, saying that the issues has been fixed.

Here’s the latest update from Engadget

“We just got off the phone with AMD, who told us that they’re actually ahead of schedule on the “B3″ Phenom silicon, which fixes that buffer error without requiring a new BIOS, and that they expect to ship higher frequency quad-core Phenoms in Q2 as planned. They would not, however, give us model numbers or clock speeds, and wouldn’t commit to a date in Q2 — so don’t be surprised if these hit as the 9750 and 9950 on the last day of Q2 after all.”
