Are there different names for amd chips?

What's an amd axia 1333? I thought there were just athlon and duron.

I must have posted about 50 times today. I should be platinum by now.

axia is a stepping of athlon thunderbird

basically its just slight revisions in the manufac process
axia's are generally very good overclockers

to add to what boonesmi was saying...there are different types of steppings even within the AXIA's themselves. The two good AXIA's are the AXIA C or the AXIA Y...Y being the better. AMD 1.33 AHYJA stepping is supposed to be the best one out right now...i have one and it doesn't hit 1660 like it was reporsted...but i'm hitting 1540...and i'm gonna go a lil higher once i get my new P/S.
