Ruisu Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) CPU 1 I wanted this one but it's sold out... CPU 2 Please let me know... I wanted to buy this tonight. If it's not is it the Clawhammer? Which is better? Edited October 21, 2004 by Ruisu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentorange Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 They both have 512k of cache and are s754 so I am pretty sure that they are newcastles. You might shell out a little more cash for a 3000+ because the higher multi will yield a high overclock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 the new Newcastle has like 500 while the clawhammer has 1000ish. so isn't the clawhammer faster? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 the new Newcastle has like 500 while the clawhammer has 1000ish. so isn't the clawhammer faster? it would be, compared to the same speeds. but that's why they clock the clawhammer cores 200mhz slower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentorange Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 I think you are refering to cache, right? The clawhammer is clocked down 200 mhz from the newcastle but it has twice the L2 cache (1 mb for the clawhammer, 512k for the newcastle). The cache doesn't effect speed (clock speed that is) but it does help in overall performance. A clawhammer running at the same clock as a newcastle will eat it for lunch (for example 3400+ clawhammer @ 2.2 vs 3200+ newcastle @ 2.2). The newcastle already has a 200 mhz lead so in order to get the clawhammer to show it's extra power you still have to make up that 200 mhz which is made difficult by the clawhammer's lower multi. Make sense? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
