Conroe fairly benchmarked finally

Fairly, what ever your on, can i have some?

And whats more its Sharikou, worse than the Inquirier.

Man, I couldn't agree with you more on that one. It's a freakin "blog assumption" and is merely someones opinion. Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one and they usually stink!

I usually don't get involved with these things at all. I will say that the AMD camp is getting desperate in trying to display any shred of evidence that levels intel up and coming technology that of which, we have really no idea how it's going to perform once released. The sad part about it is, they're using anyones opinions. If George Bush wrote a column today about how Conroe sucks, they would throw it in our faces.

Good post wusy, you da man!

all hail wusy

what the hell did i do to deserve that 8O

sry, i pressed quote instead of reply

gpfear, I love you too sweetheart

lol np. i see how it could of happened. the fact that you quoted me threw me a bit.

Awww, Love at THG!

Fanboys like posting SH!T.
With what is that article more to believe than the others.
You want benchies? Real benchies?
Go to
www.xtremesystems.org/forums
And see there some real benchies. Remember those were made with a buggy mobo and with programs that have yet to be optimised for this chip. Anyway it rocks.
Try harder fanboy.

LOL Stupid linkie getting me down. I'll edit that immediately.

Bogus. Anything and everything review related of AM2 and Conroe SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BOGUS until YOU can test it and share results.

....................until they come out with the CONROE2!

I wonder why everyone shut up and let the final releases of both cpus come out, I doubt many AMD users will seriusly believe that bust of intel conroe's box vs amd-box-built-by-intel benchmarks.

so far only real benchmarks are from victor wong's ( and a korean guy in other forum, not sure, maybe anantech's but he had a revision E1 A1 and B1 M2's and various conroes. )

I would of thought by now this would of calmed down somewhat. If Intel closes the gap with AMD it just gives users more options. I personally have used AMD processors for over seven years now without issue. What will I buy when the time comes? I will look at both platforms and make a decision at that time based on price/performance. However, I can say this at the moment. It does look like the AM2 platform will require higher-end low latency memory for best performance because of its onboard memory controller. My understanding is that Intel does not suffer the same issue, or at least it doesn’t affect it as much in performance to use lower end DDR2 memory. Conroe should also have a better price point as well at the time of release if all holds true. The price savings here alone could buy you a much nicer video card for example. Remember, the processor is just one piece of the puzzle. Of course, this is all speculation until we see working systems and pricing. One thing for sure, it seems to have everybody talking and that is a good thing.

AMD fanboys got let down by AM2 benchmarks so now there cut at conroe lol

what were all forgettin is the facts that IT CREAMS A P4 - conroe at minimum will be at the A64 and being intel with there dodgy deals and marketing will put em (faster or not) over AMD unfortunatly.

I dont see why AMD fanboys dont want conroe to win - it will only mean cheap AMDs for everyone.

Pentium M is a proven architecture for being power and fsb efficent aswell as high performance clock for clock, the design is older in its self then AMDs and could prove to be Intels greatest work sofar - we shall see.

As for 4ghz AMDs - 90nm? no way, 65nm, perhaps, thats IF they get 65nm right, but even so Intel has 45nm aproaching so.

YOU FANBOY, WE ALL KNOW INTEL IS BETTER.

Please ignore the X2 4800+ in my signature.

cool, yeah I was not sure if that was the case, and since I am an AMD fan I guess it seemed that was aimed towards me. I am just curious when conroe will actually be released. I wonder how many problems they are having and how far after scheduled release we will see it. But if it is 20% faster, that should kick the cpu market into over drive, and I am sure AMD will be trying to push out whatever they have planned to counter that as fast as possible, and then Intel would be doing the same. It has been quite some time since Intel has had a worthy competitor, and I think K8 is probably the best thing that has happend for both camps. Looks good for all of us!

meh you aint an amd fanboy - your not screaming "conroe is slow, amd is fast" like some

K8 did put intel in shape and made em ditch the P4 (took em a few hits to the head to realise but yeah) and at the same time AMD got lazy and had no super competition and hence we have $1000+ cpus, i would love to see conroe smash those amd prices to extreme lows like the XP's.

what we all dont mention here is the fact that P4 is where the athlon xp's were with the P4 B and above class - heat issues (not too serious), slower performance and cheap to compete - EXCEPT we didnt pay out the AMDs so much.

Theres AMD fanboys, there isnt any Intel fanboys as one would expect...

and I disagree..... there are "fanboys" on both sides. I would venture a guess that a fan boy is someone that would never build a system based on Intel, or on the other side based on AMD even if one was better faster less expensive than the other. And then there are the obvious forum "fanboys". But I have seen them exist on both ends of the spectrum, I do read the forums quite a bit, this is just first day that I have ever posted.

The thing I have noticed is, it doesn't matter who has the performance crown when prices are concerned, because, no matter what company it is, they will charge a premium for what they are selling. Amd will probably lower current K8's when conroe is unveiled but, if conroe is that much faster, I would be willing to bet that the prices will increase to more along the lines now of what we see now. It all comes down to making money regardless of what the name of your company is. In the case of AMD, if charging more like they have has allowed them to expand as far as Fabs are concerned, then I am glad they did it, means more competition. Conroe might very well release costing less then current dual core amd counter parts, but I would not expect it to last for to long, if is even the case when they release. We always end up paying a premium for performance, regardless of who is selling.

Word.

I will say this Apache_lives You worship Intel Conroe when Intel released the test. Surely that make you a intel Fanboy. Now You keep going Amd getting Lazy. Well let me ask you this question. Could it be Amd making sure new chips of the next genration dont have bugs. Like Presscott and the heat issue or when P4 frist came out to try to beat Amd to the 1ghz race.

Here what I see with Amd They like to take there time on Making good chips so there no bad setup. And like the Amd64. They want to make a good chip with no bugs in it. Note amd Am2 might be power hungry right now but there still on .090 nm. That will be fix on the .065 nm. I don't think amd Wants the same mistake Intel did with .130nm Norrtwood then down to .090 Presscott with heat issues. Then Amd to the .090 and go down to .065 nm then have the same heat issues.

Here the Other thing if Conroe chip comes out and runs good it frist chip in a long time Intel did not have major problems with. Why? It due to they work on there Mistakes. What Intel did was went back to the drawling board and started fresh. Or look at other chips for answers. Which is good.

You can try to call me a Amd Fanboy. Go ahead. But that would be funny when I own 2 Intel Laptops one Pro-star Intel 3.4 ee L3 2mb cache northwood chip And Acer Intel centreno duo 1.66

But what I'm doing is waiting for the generation. Quad core cpus and unlike you Apache_lives. But I will pick which ever chip runs the best at the time. That can be Amd or Intel I dont know.

There are both AMD and Intel fanboys, and both of course are noobs about hardware!
The Intel fanboys are quiet becosue current Intel chips sux more than AMD chips. I guess they will unhide when Conroe will kick K8s asses.
Anyway I am a fanboy of young and fresh juicy p*ssy. I will apritiate if I see some fangirls here on the forum
