i was wondering what is the best make code name for AMD Athlon cpu's like San Diego, Barton.. and why?

there is no best. just different revisions. read up on what each revsion adds to get an idea of what they mean.

some mean different fabrication size:

e.g : 130nm to 90nm

some mean the instruction prosses' that it can handle and understand.

e.g SSE1, SSE2, 3Dnow!,

the amount of power they require and the clock speed.

tada

heres a list of 939s

* Clawhammer Core: L2 1MB Cache/ SSE1, SSE2 Instruction Support
* Newcastle Core: L2 512KB Cache/ SSE1, SSE2 Instruction Support
* Winchester Core: L2 512KB Cache/ SSE1, SSE2 Instruction Support
* Venice Core: L2 512KB Cache/ SSE1, SSE2, SSE3 Instruction Support
* San Diego Core: L2 1MB Cache/ SSE1, SSE2, SSE3 Instruction Support
* Manchester Core: (Single & Dual Core) L2 512KB cache per CPU/ SSE1, SSE2, SSE3 Instruction Support
* Toledo Core: (Dual Core) L2 1MB cache per CPU/ SSE1, SSE2, SSE3 Instruction Support
* Venice Core CPUs include: 3000+, 3200+, 3500+, 3800+ (Retail)
* San Diego Core CPUs include: 3700+, 4000+, FX55, FX57 (Retail)
* Manchester Core CPUs include: X2 3800+, X2 4200+, X2 4600+ (Retail)
* Toledo Core CPUs include: X2 3800+ (with half of the 1MB L2 disabled), X2 4400+, X2 4800+, FX-60 (retail)


also. you sure your 3200+ is a sandy core???
are you lying?

no i am not lying its just when i turn on the program PC wizard its says its a San diego.. i will check again., can you give me a good program that will tell me what it is?

cpuz. will tell you everything you wanted to know or could know about ur CPU.

thats the program that i am using it says San Diego

i didn't know that AMD made a sandy core of the 3200+. i thought the sandy core was high end only... screen grab??
