I believe clawhammer cores have large 1MB L2 cache. Newcastle and Winchester cores are only found in the newer socket 939 based Athlon 64s. Winchester cores use a superior 90nm process which means they run on less voltage than the 130nm Newcastle cores, which basically translates into less heat dissipation.
