I've read that the 90nm is faster from around %1 - %7.. you can google search it.. put in the search bar something like "90nm Vs 130nm" you should get lots of info on the subject.

The Winchester is a "normal" athlon. "Winchester" is just a codename for the core. The Winchester is the exact same as the older Newcastle core but its just designed off the 90nm process like the Prescotts rather than the 130nm process.
