AMD has made XP2600 based on both "old" Tbred and new Barton core. The XP2600 based on the new barton core runs at slower clock than the Tbred XP2600, but has double cache (512 MB vs 256 MB), so it shoud be as fast as the Tbred. And we know that usually Bartons overclock better... Of course the Barton XP2600 runs a bit faster than XP2500, too (same core, FSB and cache, but faster clock.)

BTW, both cores run at 166 MHz FSB 333 DDR.
