AMD Barton Core difference

[RightNow]

hey, just wanted to see if there was a difference between the say the 2500 and the 3000 beside the clock speed. i know at one point the FSB bumps up to 400 Mhz from 333Mhz but the 2500 2800 and i think 3000 all have 333Mhz FSB but yet the core speed is different, what gives?

I'm not sure what you mean by "core" speed.

There is no difference between the 2500, 2800, and 3000 Barton chips, except the clock speed. They all run at 333 FSB (166 x 2 DDR), and it jumps to 400 FSB (200 x 2 DDR) for the 3200+ chip. Other than that, the chip get their default clock speed by increasing the multiplier.

Clock Speed = FSB x multiplier

2500: 166 x 11.0 = 1830mhz
2800: 166 x 12.5 = 2080mhz
3000: 166 x 13.0 = 2160mhz

there is a 400mhz FSB 3000+ as well man
