AMD Phenom X4 9500 - HD9500WCJ4BGD (HD9500WCGDBOX)

CPU Information

Core revisions BA and B2, which correspond to part numbers ending with "BGC" and "BGD" respectively, had a Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) bug where, under certain conditions, the processor could lock up when loading cached TLB data. This bug was referenced in AMD documentation as errata 254: "Internal Resource Livelock Involving Cached TLB Reload". Temporary bug fix was to disable TLB caching, which had negative impact on processor performance. The temporary fix (or patch) was implemented in BIOS, and was also included into operating systems. On some motherboards it was possible to disable the patch in BIOS and thus increase performance by 10% on average. In cases, when disabling the patch was not supported by a motherboard, or when the patch was enabled by operating system regardless of the BIOS settings, it was still possible to disable the patch by manipulating MSR registers directly with the help of software tools.
