bigpympin · Nov 7, 2004, 06:31 AM

Hey all,I have posted before about getting a AMD 3500+ but found out that there is a NEWCASTLE ver and a WINCHESTER one? Now the only thing I know is that the WINCHESTER is the newer one and cost a few bucks more,so whats the differance if any??

Winchester is a smaller die size if I'm not mistaken.

Newcastle 130nm
Winchester 90nm

90nm = better overclocking

Ahh ok soo its just better for over clocking...

It draws a little bit less power when not overclocking too. So what little extra it may cost is soon saved on the power bill.

hahahah yeah mkk...VERY little. Its such a small difference that it doesnt matter too much.

Actually, I think the difference is around 20W. And it also means less heat...
