Wait, does that mean I should wait until July 23?

Check out this forum for answers.

If it's price you are after you are best off going for a 930 and overclocking =) but if you unconfortable hitting 4.7ghz, which is understandable, a 939 X2 will suit your needs very well. Remember, games are CPU bound =p

Yes you should wait. There are some plausible scenarios,all are in favour of waiting:
a) Conroe performs as hyped then you'll know what to get
b) Conroe performs on par with AM2 but by that time AM2 already has lower prices
c) And the most highly unlikely,Conroe gets beaten by AM2(being roughly equall clock per clock). Then we might expect low prices on Conroe chips as there were on Pentium Ds. However what we do know about these miagical chips is that their thermal and energy output is at least decent and that on the right board they OC well making Conroe a very good buy.

Either way you win.

I don't know why people think the chips are being hyped when the actual chips are performing better than the ones shown at IDF.

That's not called being hyped, that's called being crippled.

Yeah, we take you very very seriously...

It's way too easy to make up such claims, any 14 years old brat can barge in here and pretend he have access to a lab full of ES CPUs, should I gobble up every single baseless claims and blatant lies I come across just because there might be a slim possibility that it could be the actual truth ?

Pffft, the signal to noise ratio is already near the absolute zero, I would love to be proven wrong but I doubt that either of you guys can deliver.

If you want to be taken seriously, show pictures of the actual machine(s) in that hypothetical lab, some benchmarks and a complete description of the hardware and the test methodology, otherwise you're just adding to the useless hype.

And no, the NDA is not a good excuse, don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk.
