Newcastle vs Clawhammer

[JS]

Is there a difference ,overclocking wise, between the Newcastle and
Clawhammer? Does one overclock better then the other? Does Clawhammer have
better performance? What's the scoop on the differences between these two
CPU's?

The differences should be obvious. For overall operation, the newcastle
should be faster. However, if you overclock the Clawhammer to the same
core speed as the Newcastle, it would be faster in memory intensive apps.
In the end, it doesn't matter because you won't notice the difference.

As to which will clock the highest, I'd say the Newcastle. Which would
overclock from it default speed the most is probably a toss up since the
newcastle already runs 200MHz faster than Clawhammer..
