I swear, one day, I will make a webpage with all those names for CPUs, etc. With a nice trend curve where you can see, when which CPU gets obsolete. /rant

So, what's the big difference those? They Clawhammers are on sale so I think those are maybe the older CPUs?

Thanks for any info!

Winchester > ClawHammer > Newcaster.
NewCaste was initially developed for A64s, with the ClawHammers coming off the SledgeHammer S940 cores. Meaning that ClawHammers reign at the high end levels, (3800+, 4000+, FX-53, FX-55) All of the above are based on the 130nm proccess.
The newer Winchester core that everyone cares about starts off in the S939 series, in the 3000+, 3200+ and 3500+. It's based on the 90nm proccess and everyone loves overclocking them. ;)
