Does anyone know where to find a good comparison guide for these three processors? I've found a few reviews, but nothing that states clearly what the real difference is, other than how hot they run.

Any help that can be offered is appreciated.

venice is coming out if you wanna spend around 350 bux on a processor.

just go with winchester, claws and newcastle are the older 939 and 754 dominance.

Basically Clawhammer cores have 1mb cache, Newcastle has 512KB. Winchester only establishes the core as being 90nm Socket 939.

Finally, Venice core

It adds SSE3 and higher frequency potential. Also it tweaks the memory controller.
