Newcastle or Winchester?

[tennesota]

I'm considering buying a 3200 Winchester or 3500 Newcastle. z`Any reason why one core should be chosen over the other core?

I'd take the Winchester core myself. Lower power consumption, runs a little cooler, and has been OCing potential. The 3500 Newcastle has a clock speed advantage at stock though, so unless you OC, the Newcastle will deliver a little more performance.
