Hi, I've encountered the terms Newcastle and Clawhammer quite a bit and was wondering what they mean.

Clawhammer and Sledgehammer were the origional names for the Opteron and FX's CPU's using the .13nm manufacturing process. Newcastle was the codename for the .13nm Athlon64 CPU and winchester is the codename for the new .9nm Athlon64.
