No surprise there. Especially considering how they pimped prescott as the greatest next gen processer ever.
The price on the X6800 will be $999 in quantity. Right in line with the current high end processors available today.

That some new info. I hope it unture but we dont know.

All that shows is that the 3.33E Extreme Edition, is being kept in the back

room. Why come out with your top chip, when you don't even need it. The

real showstoppers are the lower-end parts, that are beating AMDs high-end

at some major price advantages. You'll have to try harder than that to

take some of the limelight away from Core Processors.

well said tanker

Not really. What they said was that it was going to scale much higher than

Northwood, which it did. What it didn't do was scale to 10 GHz like some

people thought. It was mostly a larger cache, SSE3, and a die shrink. Not

to mention longer pipeline, and enhanced prefetchers. They didn't keep the

pipeline increase a secret. Northwoods on LN2 are good for about 5 GHz.

Prescott on LN2 is good for 7.2-7.6GHz. So they were, in fact right.


Do you get 9-INCH to dig up these articles for you. That way, you can

actually start discussing the article, before half the forum tells him to

turn off caps.

Northwood was alot better then Prescott. It ran cooler and Faster. It took changing the die size to do any help. It was like the frist p4 was a joke agenst the p3. Untel P4 could you hyperthreading and so on and had a higher ghz chip.

Mybe some of you should read this website basicly it what tg was talking about. http://www.hkepc.com/

Thank you Mike, now leave again.

You need to consider that the chip they are testing are only a "demo". The final Core chips would be more stable and more overclockable. Even the $530 E6 can beat the $1k FX-60 and it has been proven many times in both real applications and benchmarks such as SuprePI and 3DMark. The Core are breaking records and taking new grounds, no one can deny that.

Ycon quit acting like a child. Really this is good info for intel fanboy. Low end stuff comming out. You know not everyone has tons of money.

Very ture on that Chuckshissle. I think this is a good thing for Intel to do. Release low end chips so people who dont have alot of money can buy something that will not make them go bankrupt.

Read -> Think -> maybe Think again -> Post

simple, eh?

here have a baby bottle that will cool you down.

Let see. You like to insult people. But you get upset when someone insults You. Oh well that how life is.

1 You can act like a ture Man or Woman. Read the info and do more research. Which I did and you did not.
or
2 You can act like a child and make Tomshardware forums a disgrase?

Fanboys are for children.

I'll ignore that last comment from the peanut gallery.
I only insult the little kiddies like yourself that deserve to be insulted by their immature behavior and stupid posts.
Seconly I raised 4 little boys like yourself, so maturity is in the eye of the beholder. I could care less who insults me, your opinion is accepted just as well.

Haha. They get better and better. Would you care to elaborate on what chip Intel has that is beating AMD's high end? Right, none!
Thanks for our input oh ignorant one.

OK I give up....what the hell does your title "Conroes performance may not be as significant as expected" have to do with a roadmap???

Haha. They get better and better. Would you care to elaborate on what chip Intel has that is beating AMD's high end? Right, none!
Thanks for our input oh ignorant one.

The T2600 mobile chip...comes to mind. Clock for clock it beat the FX60, for shame......a mobile chip.

Threads like this are just bait anyway so Intel isnt releasing its top end chip on the 23rd. Hmmm well I guess people who wanted it will have to wait a bit longer but thats ok most people where planning on buying the low to mid range parts anyway. The 1K$ parts are nice for PR but they dont sell alot of them anyway

lol



Well, keep in mind that Intel has been saying that the EE line of procs may not see the same 40% performance boost that the mid-stream will see. There's been no 'official' info about the EE lineup performance gain. So far, everything about Conroe has proven to be legit.

I am definately dissapointed that the new EE proc isn't going to be touting the 1333 FSB, though There were rumors that they were having problems with the 1333 FSB on Conroe, but until now I dismissed them as such. I was considering getting an EE until I read this. If the E6700 can hit 3GHz+ OC on air-cooling, there's not much reason to invest in an EE unless you really want some hand-picked silicon.

I'm also dissapointed to see such a small difference between the mid-stream and the EE clock speeds. This means it's unlikely the mid-stream Core 2 Duo will clock more than 2.93 GHz iff the shelf

Actually, every conroe bench to-date has beaten the AMD lineup, FX-60 included (no real FX-62 vs. Conroe benches yet) . Don't forget that, not too long ago, AMD was the underdog.

That info can't be right. we have 3.33 running under 90w full load and its not gonna be the EE? If it turns out to be true then it's the marketing g-men - not us.

And If Conroe does. I'll be laughing at you!!

I'm not saying Mike is right, but the T2600 does not have 64-bit support. :?

Just FYI there has now been a real FX-62 vs. a stock 2.6GHz Conroe test here:

http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=5692

And as expected, the Conroe wins in every real world test. Here are the results:

Hexus has gotten their hands on a 2.6GHz Conroe system and did some benchmarking against a real AMD-supplied 2
