I was looking through the various socket 939 procesors on Newegg's site, when I decided it's about time I figure out why there are different cores.
I've got a s754 Clawhammer 3200+, which is clocked at 2.0Ghz (w 1mb L2 Cache), yet I see that on the s939 CPU's, the Winchester cored 3200+ is 2.0GHz w/512KB L2 cache. The s754 3200+ w/Newcastle is clocked at 2.2 GHz, so I am wondering exactly how the Winchester's make up for this 200MHz?
The only difference I see is the Process is 0.13 Micron on the Socket 754 and 90nm on the Socket 939's, and I'm not even sure what this means...
Can anyone tell me how these s939 chips make up the extra speed??
Thanks!!
