Which CPU should I concider

[Dave65]

I have been thinking about getting the new Tbred CPU,but was just reading in PC World that the Claw Hammer is coming out this summer,would it be worth the wait for the Clawhammer?
What exactly is the difference in the two?

Thanks

Tough to answer al lthat as we've yet to see any real evidence that clawhammer is coming and what the cost will be and what real life performance gains will be seen...

If you were to get a Tbred, get an 1800 as they overclock well. As for waiting for a Clawhammer, it may be worth it as it will be a 64-bit CPU with hypertransport. However, as it was pointed out, we don't know what it'll cost nor what real world performance will be. We've seen benchmarks but those are from AMD and may be biased. If I were in your shoes, I'd spend the $70 on an 1800 and wait for Clawhammer.
