Ok, I've seemed to fall behind on all the new AMD proccessors. Here's my list with what I want to know...
Athlon XP: I'm pretty sure I know everything about this except what's the FSB speed?
Thorough Bred: What's the Difference between this and the Athlon XP? What's the FSB?
Barton: What's the Difference between this and the Thorough Bred? What's the FSB?
Opteron: This is the new server class right? Does this use 64 bit? I'm assuming these are supposed to oppose the Intel Xeon series? What's the FSB?
Athlon64: These are the 64 bit series for home users right? What's the FSB?
Clawhammer: Is this the code name for the Opteron?
Sledgehammer: Is this the code name for the Athlon64?
All help is appreciated...Thanks
 
XP Bus speed 133 or 166 depending on model
Thorough Bred: later core revision of the XP, still named XP same FSB 133 or 166 (166 is used for XP2600 and above)
Barton has 512k cache vs 256 for tbred. Bartons start at 2500 and use 166 fsb
Opteron:yes,yes,yes, doesn't really apply, internal bus, but 166 is dual channel is the closest equiv.
And, yes to all the rest of your questions (we don't really know all the details on the Atlon64 untill it comes out)
 
Markfw900 - good reply but you didn't get them all correct.
Clawhammer was the codename for the Athlon 64. Sledgehammer was the codename for Opteron.
