Thorton?
I haven't heard of that one but you can pretty much assume that the more expensive one is either a retail CPU and not OEM or it is just a newer and therefore more expesive chipset.

Thorton


Thoroughbred

I'll assume you mean these two? They appear Identical, both OEM, both 266mhz FSB, 256L2 cache, 1.8GHZ, only the Volts have different ratings, 1.6v VS. 1.65v. I dunno

The one with the t-bred core is basically a relabled Athlon XP, since that is the core the earlier XPs used. The Thorton is the same as the later XPs with the Barton core, but with only half the cache. This means the Thorton needs a little less voltage, but the two will perform almost identically. I would guess that the Thorton would OC a little better, but you would have to do some research into that.
