i was planning on buying an athlon 64 3500 on newegg and now i see there is three different cores. clawhammer, winchester, and newcastle. now i cant decide which one to get. what is the difference between these cores and which is the best. i dont plan on overclocking until my computer is out of date which will be in like 2 or three years so ocing isnt important to me.

Thanks in advance
 
If you pay close attention you will notice the cache difference.

The ClawHammer has 1 meg of cache while the NewCastle only has 512 kb.

I would go with ClawHammer, it has been around longer and is apparently faster then the NewCastle.
