Athlon vs. Thunderbird

[Blayze]

I was wondering why some people are recommending getting a Athlon instead of a Thunderbird right now?
I know the Thuderbird is new, but are there some problems with it, etc... that makes some people recommend getting the Athlon instead?
Just wondering

Noo, don't get classic Athlon. Get a Thunderbird core Athlon!!!

I'm just speculating, but could this be because of the clock locking of the Thunderbirds making it virtually unoverclockable like the Duron?
