both same score almost

great results there :toast:

thanks for the comparison. Images are really slow :(

C-BuZz

Nice testing as usual Coolaler :toast: , but AFAIK Merom = mobile Conroe ... the performance difference is in the other components.

nice comparison between the next "Most Wanted" chips :toast:

it seems like their only difference is the socket they use, regarding the charts, they core almost the same in all benchmarks :)

Conroe faster

thanks for sharing.
how about some 3D01 ?

oh! no compare;)

coolaler
2646 3DMark06 CPU Score @ 2978Mhz (372*8)
one of your previous results
http://images.people.overclockers.ru/preview/74098.jpg

Now 2523 @ 2966Mhz, why?

Pictures take ages to load...

But I see that conroe wins SP1M only because of higher memory fsb.

Anyway, nice comparison :toast:

How did you get your conroe msi motherboard? Are they for sale?

Thanks

Man you got so much time... not that we are complaining! :D
Nice Comparisions, Thanks for sharing.

Good comparo. Interesting results, and clearly some hard work gone into it.

But may i ask, why does Merom get lumbered with 2gb of RAM running at 4-4-3-8@380mhz when Conroe gets just 1gb of RAM, 4-3-2-4@460mhz.

Is this a reporting error? Cos otherwise, it seems conroe has a pretty massive advantage in memory over Merom, in latencies alone.

Or am i thinking too AMD, and latencies don't matter?

Wow, not much diff between the two, seems the bus speed doesnt make to much difference..
Coolaler thanks for the great posts!!

keep it up

Difference is in the FSB..;)

I really thaught Conroe was going to get much higher performance due to the higher FSB, but it seems like I was wrong. Maybe it's a different scene in multimedia/decoding/encoding.

I really appreciate your work Coolaler, we know much more about these processors now!
I know it's a bit much to ask for but could you compare Merom and Conroe in:
*Winrar -packing and unpacking
*Mp3/wma/divx etc.

And maybe a Firefox benchmark? Does anybody know where to get that benchmark?
