Its still pretty far off, according to this articleQuote:

I like the last part though

One of the biggest perks about CSI for Itanium and Xeon backers is that it will allow them to slot either processor in the same server. This should save the brave few Itanic backers on system development costs and finally bring Itanium prices down.
i don't see your proof either. ;)Quote:

looks like a E6600 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo is going toe to toe with an FX-62.
From Hexus:
But hasn't it been said that Conroe will only function with motherboards who has revised power layout?Quote:
We can also confirm that the E6700 will ship with a 65W TDP (half that of Presler 965 and practically half FX-62's) and run on an Intel 975X motherboard flashed with a Conroe-supporting BIOS - meaning that the 65nm CPUs will be released in LGA775 packaging.

no surprise there and it will be alot cheaper

There's no real need for a summary. The benchmarks tell all. Intel's Conroe simply outmuscles every currently available CPU. Would you buy an AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 now? AMD must be thinking that K8-L can't come soon enough.
That is incredible. AMD is leading in some things, but games and encoding Intel has taken the lead back. And this is 2.4GHz vs 2.8GHz.. those extra stages in the conroe obviously help it a lot :D
This is the most amazing result:
174.48 162.35 125.1
If you don't know what that is, thats Farcry performance: E6700 E6600 FX-62.
50FPS is not something to sneeze at.
:slapass: :slapass: :slapass:
HEXUS Cryptography, The new AMD bench choice :D
true that.....they are really special......and certainly much better than anyone could comprehend a bunch of months ago....well done Intel.....Quote:

Oh my :banana: !! To say honestly - i didnt belive, that Conroe will be so good (even though i folloved Fuggers an Colalers WR fall one by one) and AMD AM2 so "bad".... 50FPS in Far CRy!! This is nuts!
Conroe ROX! :woot:
Sure, but I'm not gonna bow down to Merom... :nono:Quote:

Charlie, who published recent performance estimates and architecture overview on the Inquirer for Merom-derivatives, say Woodcrest's TDP may be knocked down from 80W to 65W.Quote:
Max TDP is only 80W against Dempsey`s 130W.
good one:banana:Quote:

I can wait for K8L to decide what to buy. I surely don't want to be an early adopter now, when in the next year and half things will get so exciting once more.
Cointreau? :confused:
Make sure you put that in eye-blinding, hard to read bright lime green. (*sarcasm*) --- it is the demeaning pet names the Inquirer gives to companies or products they do not like.Quote:

no they Focus on Servers becuase they make a Hell of alot more profit from it then desktops..Quote:
