| 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.

| 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
