Hey everyone. I pretty much know everything i need to know about these chips(to decide they will kick some serious arse atleast ;)) except one thing. Which one is which? I know the t-bred's are still the Athlons(I'm pretty sure on this anyway) but i was wondering what the Barton and Clawhammer are going to be. Is the Clawhammer going to be the Duron and the Barton going to be the MP or is the Barton going to be a whole new series? Does anyone have some info on this?

The T-bred's are going to be Athlons. Barton will be the final Athlon and may come in two sockets.

Clawhammer will be a whole new generation with a new name and everything. say goodbye Athlon and hello to sometin else.

With 64-bit technology, your basically 100% garunteed that AMD will come in with a whole new name.

LOL, I already started saving for the bartons and claw Hammers. Currently I have a 1.2 ghz athlon, it could hold me till then. So far I have $600 saved up for it! I want to save like $2000 for it, I am gonna build a kick ass system with that money!
