Clawhammer was one of the first Athlon 64 processor cores, supporting 1 MB of L2 cache memory and offering clock speeds between 2.0 and 2.4 GHz. We used an Athlon 64 FX-53, but the Athlon 64 4000+ uses exactly the same silicon. Clawhammer was a 130-nm processor. The Newcastle core had only 512-kB L2 cache and ran at between 1.8 and 2.4 GHz (3000+ to 3800+), but also was a first-generation Athlon 64 130-nm part. Both Clawhammer and Newcastle carried the CG stepping.
The 90-nm generation consisted of the Winchester (D0 stepping, 1.8 to 2.2 GHz), Venice (E3, E6 steppings, 1.8 to 2.4 GHz) and San Diego cores (E4, E6 steppings, 2.2 to 2.4 GHz).

Nice, but were are the Athlon XPs, Semprons and Celerons?
BTW: In the Divx 6.5 the Athlon X2 Am2 is labeled blue.
