amd64 bought newcastle but says clawhammer

[gotensan01]

I recently installed EVEREST for fun and noticed that under "Motherboard"->"CPU"->"CPU Alias" it says ClawHammer-512. This is the exact processor that I bought. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed something like this. I would assume that EVEREST is wrong but please give me some input.

It is assuming that the A64 is a "ClawHammer", because that is what was assumed to be the code name for all A64s. We now know that there is a Newcastle core as well, but this particular program apparently hasn't been updated.

all A64s with 512kb cache is the Newcastle core AFAIK

there 512kb clawhammers floating around... basically they are clawhammers but with 512kb disabled...

we now know???

the newcastles have been around for a while now...

so unless this program is like a over 8 months old or i don't see why it wouldn't recognize the newcastle...

UNLESS...

it were a clawhammer with disabled cache
