looking at some stats on the amd 64 chips i have noticed that there is no canges between the 3000 and the 3200 (other then price). but that can’t be. am i just reading off a site with a typo?
or is the cache different or something? what am i missing?

Newcastle vs 'Hammer core. Newcastle is newer and has 512K L2, the 'hammer line has 1MB. The thing with AMD is that, with the ondie memory controller, the cache isnt as major a performance requirement as with Intel (which is why AMD cut the cache in half with the newer chip)
