Intel Fanboys still waiting for Conroe

So? Conroe will most likely kill a FX 60 or FX 62 so my fanboyish hopes lie on it's succes. You shouldn't have expected much from 965. Net Burst already passed it's limits. More clock speed and things will get too hot even unstable.

Vista? Not on my plans though i would consider purchasing it if it really doesn't screw up my performance. I heard about it that it will most likely consume a lot more of the GPU than XP "did". I hope it limits itself only to times were i'm in the desktop,not while i'm playing games.
I am eager to see some Conroe benchies too. While i consider the IDF/AT benchies somewhat reliable i still can't say for certain that it will be the breakthru shown in the review without watching some neutral benchmarking.

I am hoping to dual boot between Vista and SUSE. KDE 4 is releasing in the fall time frame. I want to wait until the software is out as well as the benchmarks on the hardware before I build my next box.

Not to mention that the CPU reviewed was a mainstream one while nothing better than FX 62 will come untill 2007.
At 3 GHZ Conroe lead would be even more breath taking.

We shall see when it's released. When there is this heated competition between Intel and AMD, we all win.

I hope Conroe is as good as they claim. AMD will be forced to up the ante. When these 2 makers are in a heated competition, we are all winners. Just like the Nvidia and ATI wars, I hope things heat up and prices drop out the bottom on ALL CPU's. Fanboy? I'm a fan of performance, I'm loyal to performance.

Yay, another fanboy thread filled with noobs.

and you post this up because you think you're the biggest one in this thread?

Out of the mouths of babes........and yet, he joins our moronic thread.

and according to your logic, you're one moron too?

You're not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Oh but you are the dullest. Be proud of it.

It looks like Intel Fanboys are coming out of the closet !!
As for running KDE, OSX, etc, I will rather do that in in a Vista VM window instead of a multi-boot system.

The only thing needed to make me Linux forever was having good games run on Linux. To bad that never happend. Maybe have the OSX be 100% Linux, not just "Linux-like" can help boost Linux stuff.

lol i also noticed the conroe has beaten the xeons... wouldn't that be a little "weird" for intel to launch a better product on a home market than on the commercial market ?

oh and opterons are still before the conroe so...
it's not the best

i doubt conroe will be as good as announced.

every tests shows it beats fx-60 in dual core operation... and that's why EVERY games were run with max resolution, max details AND dual monitoring... i'm certain that cpu won't give anything if running without the proper multitask applications.

intel worked alot with hyperthreading and multitask operations.
they know how to optimize a cpu for it
amd worked at virtualization and this will rock any form of multitasking.

Above is the sorrid past of the Intel Processor, AMD is soon to to follow I'm sure.

Now that's a bulletproof comeback, definately on par with I know you are but what am I?

Nah I'm done with him, besides this thread was already stupid enough.

Evidence is what we are waiting for from Intel.

I disagree with you posting in this fashion. Of course Intel fanboys are waiting for the next big thing. I sick of looking at the same FX-60 benchmarks and I'm waiting for the next big thing from AMD.

What's up with the immature "AMD pwns Intel" junk? The fact is that even though AMD has an edge with their FX-60 it is a very small edge. AMD is superior by a matter of a few frames per second, they are not blowing Intel out of the water.

If Intel delivers the numbers they have promised it will be enough to convert those of us who are truly performance fanboys over to Intel. However, if Intel fails to deliver or if AMD turns it up a notch I think you'll see some Intel boys starting to buy AMD.

Also, you describe Conroe as costing over $1000, NOT TRUE. The Conroe we saw benchmarked will be in a reasonable price range ($300-$500 I believe). They will have other, faster processors that will cost more than the 2.66ghz one we saw.

That's the same thing I read ~$500 for the baddest Conroe. I was just about to convert to AMD until I saw the price of the Conroe. I may still convert if I run out of patience.

Ummm this was about the 3.73 EE chip which is supposed to hold you over until conroe's release not about conroe.

where are the results to prove your statements? We have discussed this ad naseam, here is the article from anandtech, I do not know if this is the revised version, either way here it is

Pricing of Conroe is estimated at 500, 315, 241, 189.
Face it Intel came out with a good product as far as we can tell, quite the flamboy crap, I do not want a repeat of the first couple days after Conroe results came out.

Try looking, it might, just might help.

I guess that was an insult too. Oh well.

You're calling me an AMD fanboy?

Fair enough.

So what...
