A64 3500+ ClawHammer

[FragTek]

I'm thinking about picking one of these up if my Winnie is dead because the price is right on em... Only drawback that I can see is that the hammer core is a 130nm core but it overclocks like a mother.

What do yall think? I think $267 is an unbeatable price for this chip, and I've now come to the conclusion that I can't have my comp down for an additional week if my cpu turns up dead waiting for the Venices to come.

Go For It!

Go For It!

It's sounding like the perfect way to go right now.... 3500+ Clawhammer just seems like the perfect chip at the perfect price (perfect - the 130nm core of course but that's beside the point since they're fabulous overclockers).

This is definately what I'll do if my Winnie ends up being dead, then I'll get my new LCD on my next paycheck.

if you hope it is going to be dead remove the IHS or just send it to me

edit: BTW wait for the venice to come out

The 3500+ is not a 'proper' Clawhammer. It has half its cache disabled, leaving it with 512K like its Winchester and Newcastle counterparts.

BTW, Venice isn't where the action is - Lancaster cores are out for skt754

But it's the core design itself that makes it a good overclocker, not the cahce. The 1mb L2 doesn't give any real world performance gain, only a few extra marks in benches.

Still gonna go with this chip if mah Winnie the pooh is dead.

I won't have time to wait around another week for Venice And no, no Winnie for you! If it's dead I'm framing it as one of the greatest overclocking procs ever
