what one is better? I just did a cpuid and found out the 3500+ i got has a newcastle core and i wanted the winchester should i be pissed off?

 

[Zebo]

No they are same performance. Look here http://www.behardware.com/art/imprimer/531/

One is cooler though and uses less power. Winch.

Actually, there are a few benchmarks that show the winch being 1~3% faster than the NC...
Do a search and it should show the diff... plus the winch OCs better too...

Actually there are a few benchmarks NC is faster too. Which is why I provided the link which shows it all balances out over a series.

actually certain 939/754 newcastle cores are considered the best overclockers, so long as they came from the right batch. end of may of this year...
