Intel representatives just contacted DailyTech with the following information:

The Core 2 Extreme processor (Conroe based) will ship at 2.93GHz at Core 2 Duo launch. We will also have a 3.2GHz version by end of the year. And as you know, the Quad Core enthusiast SKU, Kentsfield, is planned for Q1'07.

Take that AMD fanboys!

Hold Up! before you start bashing AMD fan boys!!

Why Do they run at 1066Mhz Instead of 1333Mhz? they are also loosing 100Mhz so it won't be the "AMD Bashing" FSB Extreme Edition as everyone thought

They are slowing from 1333mhz X 2.5= 3332.5Mhz
to 1066 X 3= 3198Mhz A total of a 134.5Mhz in speed loss and about 267Mhz in FSB

975 and 965 chipsets don't support it.

How Sad :cry: :cry: :cry: But you can Just Overclock beyond 3.6Ghz right?? because i so badly want a Conroe over 1333MHz and a speed uncompared to with a Regular Non EE Conroe

Thats what im trying to point out. You get up people for using all caps yet you start all your posts with "OMG". How is that so detracted from using all caps.

They'll probably release it next to the 985 chipset which I believe supports it (well it better!) and yes you could just overclock it.

YAY! That's why i Love being a Overclocking Nerd! I want to get that System and then Just overclock that Monster!! Anyone Else in Toronto Getting that System?? IF not I'll be the fastest Thing In Toronto Until NewYears Eve 2007

Looks like it'll be a nice core, but I can't help but wondering what the TDP is. (Whatver it is, it'll be lower than my current core)

It's most likely at 89W, because the Non-Extreme Edition are at 65W and the Memroms are touted to be at 35W right?? Correct me if im wrong about the Memrom TDP

They only announced it today because they've seen what AMD are doing with their Rev.G 65nm SOI.
It's a good indication that 2.93Ghz at launch has a lot more poential for us to squeeze out(and current proven data says so).
Well I'm glad that they are at least acknoledging that AMD might have something scary in the works and are binning higher chips. Too bad about the 1333mhz chipset issue. Anyone remember when I joked about Intel having to build themselves a super-pipelined northbridge to keep up with bandwidth demand in the next few years :wink:

Maybe I am just old and cynical, but what Intel is doing makes perfect sense.

People who buy the FX and EE chips do so for bragging rights - pure and simple.

To pay $700 for a chip that real world is maybe 5 or 6% faster is just nuts.

AMDs FX60 is, objectively speaking, on balance looking at all benchmarks (and not just cherry picking a few bandwidth sensitive gaming tests) about 6% faster than a 3.73 ghz 965 EE - but look at all the huge press, fanboy support, etc it has earned AMD.

Intel will release a 2.93 ghz Conroe, and quietly stockpile split bin 3.2s till needed, and sell every 2.93 at a premium they can...

Untill they need the 3.2, which they will sell at a premium while quietly stockpiling split bin 3.46 ghz parts....

Untill they need the 3.46 parts...

Rinse.. lather... repeat...

AMD almost ceratinly could have cherrypicked 3.0, maybe 3.2 ghz parts long ago for their FX series...

They didn't, because they didn't have to...

END OF STORY....

The shear fact of the matter is that AMD cannot get too 3.2 ghz or 3.0 for that matter their fastest chip will be the FX 62 @ 2.8 ghz, and if you buy that chip theres almost no overclocking headroom.

I should have used the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags :p

Anyway I would never buy AMD. My 2.8c is oVeRCLoXXoRReD to 37Ghz and beats even the highest spec Cray supercomputer :p

OMFG I am teh 1337!!!!!!

*shudders* I hate fanboi's. I would never become one or genuinely post like one myself 8O
