Default AMD renovates Athlon 64: Newcastle

I'm confused, what's the difference between the Newcastle 3000+ (2Ghz, 512kb l2) and the current A64 3000+ (2Ghz, 512kb l2)?

Socket 754 vs 939? Dual versus single channel? Or just a core revision? I can't make it up from the article.

939 socket, dual channel memory, same cache amount

When AMD soft-launched the Athlon64 3000+ last year with 512KB of L2 cache, they were calling it the "Newcastle" core. You know as well as we did that it was simply a hobbled Clawhammer, but now according to News.com, the real Newcastle is getting ready to get its turn. What's the big deal about Newcastle now? It will effectively use much less silicon than the current CPUs and when in the 939-pin package will give us an extra memory channel to play with. Yes, the real enthusiast Athlon64 is almost here.

nr2 is interesting, and if AMD prices them right, it will be the next Athlon Tbird/XP , completely blowing Intel away price/performance

2. is indeed interesting, and if socket 775 doesn't bring BIG improvements, it will get slaughtered by these chips, considering mainstream prescotts are a slight downtune from northies
