Hello,

I want to know if 939 X2 3800+ be faster than CONROE 1.86 GHz.

I am considering it after the price drop.

No, both s939 and sAM2 X2-3800+ are slower for everything than E6300 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo.

Fortunately for the Intel fanboys No. But don't let that stop you because there are plenty of Intel chips that it is faster than.

Fortunately, does not make any diference for the non-fanboys. And fortunately it makes PAIN IN THE A$$ for the AMD fanboys like you.

Just because you live in a cave outside Bitola, I'll forgive your misspelling of EXPENSIVE.


He should still go for a 3800+ or a 4200+. It will be enough for games though not for bragging rights.

Bragging rights is when youve bought something very exclusive and very expensive not when youve bought something inferior for more/same money.

That's true, but consider the price of a Conroe motherboard vs. a 939 or AM2 board. Sure the CPU itself is priced the same or better, but when your motherboard is $200+ the small savings on the CPU is no longer relevant.

Then factor in that AM2 requires the best DDR2 money can buy, to perform decently(more money), whereas Conroe doesn't.

Is that the best you can come up with, making fun of someone who speaks English by far better than you or I speaks his language.

Dude, you suck.

Answer for stock speed: NO.

Answer after overclock: Probably NOT. Every preview I've seen show very good overclocking potential for CONROE and I wouldn't be surprise to see this 1,86GHZ baby overclock like heaven (has oppose to hell :wink: ) But to confirm this we'll all have to wait at the end of july. I'll put my money on CONROE tough!!! :twisted:

I mean, it's not like the internet is filled with post of 50% overclock for A64X2 3800+. But I think will be fairly easily achievable for the baby Conroe at 1,86GHZ. I'mm not saying it will be cool, but with decent cooling it should overclock very well in theory.

My 2 cents. :!: :)

Thats also true, but DDR1 wont get any cheaper (= going to become more expensive), while Conroe only needs some low clockspeed (667 or even 533) DDR2 to perform.

Again you failed to impress me. If you googled around to find any info (city from my country) that does not make you a geography Ph. D. But I am sure you'll claim that you are, just like the 50 jobs you are doing in parallel.
I gave you my addres & phones numbers(yes we have phones in our caves), but you are very stupid to check out in which city I actually live.
So becouse you are stupid, I'll not forgive you and I will PWN your dumb ass over and over every time you post BS.
Now can we start please, I feel like arguing with idiot and it is fun. :lol:

You guys just need to chill. There are other threads dedicated to juvenile arguments like those. I'm sure AMD and Intel appreciate you championing their respective causes, but it's not necessary.

It has been established that Core 2 Duo/Conroe will, I repeat will beat the current Athlon 64 architecture, hands-down. I think we can agree on this, fanboys from both sides alike. We can also agree that it is not the end of the world for either side. Both companies are working hard to produce better products.

Everyone can agree that while Netburst was fast, the A64 architecture was superior in most areas. Netburst was hot-running, and very inefficient. Now Intel is going to take the performance crown with Core 2. And if it's better, they earned it. No amount of poo-pooing will take that crown away from them. Core 2 will be good, so deal with it.

Intel people, feel free to brag. AMD people, feel encouraged to just smile and nod, knowing that Texas will produce something to beat Core 2. And the cycle will continue.

Fanboys STFU!!!!
