P Phippsp New Member Feb 10, 2005 #1 what is the difference between the amd Athlon 64 3500 90nm 939 and just the regular Amd Athon 64 3500 939 pin.

Cromewell Administrator Staff member Feb 10, 2005 #2 the 90nm 3500+ is 84 mm^2 die, compared to 144 mm^2 dieusing the older 130nm process. the theoretical advantage should be lower thermal dissipation at the same clock speed but this isn't always true.

A andyc New Member Feb 12, 2005 #4 Are there any other differences besides the thermal and power advantages? I think i read somewhere that the Winchester was easier or more overclockable than the Newcastle.

A andyc New Member Feb 12, 2005 #6 Is the Winchester worth the extra $$ when it comes to the long run?

Hehe that would be the advantage wouldnt it? Is the Winchester worth the extra $$ when it comes to the long run? Click to expand... Well the Newcastle was D-rev, Winchester is E-rev..... they wont be making Ds when they can make Es....

A andyc New Member Feb 13, 2005 #8 but why would they make E's if they can make F's lol...don't answer that
