Athlon X2-BE2350 and older naming convention

[hopster]

Hey guys, quick question.

What is with the athlon X2-BE2350 being so different from other athlon x2's naming (eg, 4000+, 4800+, 5000+, etc)

I'm looking to build a new rig with an athlon x2 (socket am2) brisbane core. I just wanted to know what was up with the X2-BE2350 and its benefits/pitfalls compared to the other brisbane cores out there.

Thanks!

This techARP site will give a bit of an idea on the naming convention although it is Barcelona (opteron) i believe they are adoping the same naming convention.
