Wikipedia has a great set of articals with the different AMD processors, differences in models, etc...
Each processor usally has at least 2 models of it(well, for each socket) I know for the 4000, there was the Clawhammer and the San Diego. Again, just look on wikipedia or google, I'm sure there's more than enough info out there...

Dude... Jan just posted basically ever freakin Athlon ever made...can you not read it or something?
Ugh... The 3800's a Venice, 4000's a Clawhammer.

I get like that because you post basically everything BUT the core. If you took the time to compare the two 4000's, you'd see one has SSE3, one doesn't. One has a 90nm die, the other a 130nm. And if you'd read my previous post, you'd see I told you the 4000 was a Clawhammer. Though, I was incorrect, I the 3800 is the Newcastle(minus SSE3) I don't know my cores right off the top of my head...
could you be like more specificPancakes said:
san diego and clawhammer are cpu cores, san diego is more known and in my opinion better, so if you are getting a 4000+ get a san diego core based
e3 and e6 are core steppings (revision), e6 is newer, if you are buying a 3800+ single core cpu get a venice core based cpu

listen, my Duron applebred has only 64KB of L2 cache, overclocked to 2.25Ghz from 1.8GHz it gets higher score than Athlon XP 3200+ with 512KB of L2 cache (2.2Ghz) in PCMark05.Pancakes said:
so i would say get a cpu with 512KB of L2 cache cuz the extra 512KB isnt worth it IMO,
if u have a 2.2GHz proccesor you can easily OC it to 2.4GHz so....
EDIT: i dont know about your CPU but Venice can be Oc'ed to 2.6GHz with stock cooling

Heya
In general, it could be said that for an AMD processor, the extra MHZ will serve you better than an extra 512KB of cache. I have an Athlon 3000+ @ 2.7Ghz with 512KB of cache and it performs way better than a 4000+ that has 1MB cache but runs at a lower frequency.

CORRECTION the clawhammer is worse because 1. it runs hotter (130nm) and 2. it runs at 2.2ghz not 2.4ghz, i OWNED A 3400+ i would know! and yes, 200mhz is a better performance increase than adding 512kb!
