Clawhammer or San Diego?

[scottish144]

I'm looking at building a new comp with an Athlon 64 4000+. However, I noticed that newegg prices the clawhammer 75$ more than the San Diego. Is there any real performance difference?

San Diego is the newer version and should overclock better.

San Diego= newer, 90nm process, overclocks to 2.8 commonly

Clawhammer= older, 130nm process, overclocks to 2.6 commonly

The only reason the clawhammers are so expensive is that the stores aren't willing to take a ht to sell them cheaper. Also, if they price higher, then the not so tech savvy people will by the older core thinking its better because its more expensive, thus moving old stock.

SD also has a slightly improved memory controller and SSE3.
