can any one tellme what differrence I can expect from these factor comparing : for exemple the 3 different 5000+ CPU on the market.
see them at amd compare cpu

there x2 core
Factor: Stepping, voltage, wattage, L1 cache, L2 cache and Cmos Tech ( SOI).
Here is what I get for it.
G1 would be the and improved stepping for the new architecture. So probably a better use for clock cycle. Meaning that a G1 processor whit same SOI would do the job faster.
Voltage, less power consumption and less heat, could it have an impact on speed ? mabe !
L1 and L2, in my exemple, all 5000+ CPU have the same cache, but if you compare a 5000 to a 4800 there is a difference. L1 is the same but L2 for the 5000 is 1/2. it will probably impact the gain from the SOI and give almost the same performance as the 4800.
For The SOI we all know that smaller is better. But if the gain is reduce by less cache, voltage, and smaller L2....
So why would I buy a 5000+ instead of a 4800+
