San diego vs clawhammer fx55

[Charbo]

ok i have the clawhammer fx55 and i was wondering what the differanace is form the 2? in preformance is one any better either?

90nm vs 130nm

architectural differences in the silicon as well....other than that, same speed, same cache

The clawhammer FX-55 wont overclock well at all, and is SSE2 comapred to venice SSE3

Basicly if you buy a clawhammer CPU, your buying 2 year old technolagy, when with a little overclocking a 3000+ can beat out a clawhamemr.

Oh yeah, venice's use ALOT less power, you will notice your power bill's will be lower

 

[Powerslave]

why did you buy a clawhammer with that system? you wasted money!

 

[Charbo]

because i didnt know the differance =/

That and I believe he's had this FX-55 way before the venices and san diegos came out...he didn't just recently purchase this.

And yeah duh, completely forgot to mention the fact the san diegos have the SSE3 instructions
