I meant i didnt need to say anything in the body because it was already said. also again, note the t.

When you buy a new keyboard.

lol, man

FYI, Conroe is scheduled to come out June 6. AM2 platform should be out soon, but I don't know when it's due. That's all I know.

What are you doing? :?:

Socket AM2 Platform for AMD will debut at 23rd May.

Core 2 Duo (Conroe) for Intel will debut in July, maybe 1st or 3rd week.

yes indeed action man, but i was prepared for that! you see you only say it when its ALL caps, note the t at the end!

Typo.

LMAO!!!!

But you better not piss off Action Man,

AM2 already out. If you're German.

What happend to "Jesus loves you" ?

IT'S OK ACTION MAN
QQ?

Real question is:

who is going to buy Conroe... aside from myself.

ME! I'm buying both.

Me... If the benchmarks are good. If not then AM2, but considering it is new design that more closely resemble's the Pentium M architecture than the P4's, it should be able to beat AMD's CPU.

Being able to execute 4 instructions per cycle is good too.

This is not 100% true. Intel's conroe's has 1 complex and three simple decoders vs AMD's 3 complex decoders. There might be cases when AMD's offerings outperforms intel's on applications that uses strong FP (I'm not referring to a toy benchmark like superpi).

...And lets not forget cache trashing on intel's conrunt which wil definately hurts on heavy multitasking.

That'll be quite rare.

Could you explain how Cache Thrashing will hurt, and use the Yonah/FX benches to point where it is hurting that shared L2 cache?

The AMD Fanboy Cache Thrashing Myth has been pretty well debunked...

And I'm buying a Conroe as soon as it comes out. It's quite affordable... way more affordable than a comparable AMD processor.

And according to everyones favourite site AMD's quad core will only have 2mb of L3 cache, OMG less then woodcrest's L2 cache, major cache thrashing!!!11

LMAO good point man

Perhaps it won't be ready till 65nm?

Conroe Before it-
Conroe faster and cooler
AMD bye-bye
