Yes I agree completely. What Im getting at is that a 3.3 is not going to happen with the way Intel bins their chips. However Id say it might with *our* cooling. 2.66 I still think is optomistic based on what Ive personally heard of conroe. Sure they will clock that high but I really doubt that Intel can bin it stock that high. I think 2.33 is far more likely

Granted Socket AM2 might do the same as well...

Clearly Intel has CPU power on its side (and nothing in terms of bandwidth) and AM2 will have little CPU power but an incredible amounts of bandwith

That's why there should be the usual extra incentive... more cache... l3 cache... higher fsb... w/e

Conroe will bring new SSE instructions

Quote:

Several internal memos and roadmaps from Intel confirmed what many of us already suspected: Intel's Conroe (and Merom) will feature SSE4. The next generation SSE instructions were listed as part of the the platforms "Significant Video Enhancements" built into the upcoming Intel platforms.

The new Intel D975XBX rev. -301 will support Conroe. Does anybody know, if you can buy the board somewhere?
Because I really need a new computer. With the new Intel board I could now buy a Pentium D and then upgrade with a Conroe.

with changes to the certain motherboard components.

It will have new VRM. Maybe curent i975x mobos will be able to support Conroe with hardmod.

both intel (especialy) and asus would know conroe will need a new vrm at time of making the i975x boards so why not include them from the start.
it will be one a day disposable boards/chip sets next.
a modular vrm would be good like on some ibm servers i used to build. when you installed a 2nd slot 1 p3 you had to install a new vrm for it too.

Any word on whether or not the XE will have unlocked multi? If it doesnt, most of us would probably be just as well off or better (if it only makes it to 3.0GHz), in buying the 2.66, simply because of the higher multiplier.

Incredible feature for on-board grafics. Interesting how fast will it perform.

CSI on Conroe! Memory controller, PCI-E all on the CPU by 2008. FB-DIMM and mutiplexed DDR2-1066 (Bi-direction 533MHz) and by the time AMD tries to close the gap that Conroe will create this Q3/Q4, CSI will kill such an attempt. Never mess up with a giant, you will pay a big price.
One Golf peep made a careless coment and was smiling at his chances of beating the number one Golfer in the world (Tiger Woods) in the ongoing Wolrd golf Championship. He was literaiy humiliated as Tiger Wood handed his ass to him by winning all the holes, except the last with a 9 & 8.
AMD pissed off Intel with the challenge they called for last year and they will most likely get it soon. Intel have lots of engineers and smart ones for that matter. Wake up a sleeping Giant, you lite up a fire under yourself.

Yes, his name was Stephen Ames.

I'm letting this go due to lack of concrete information.

This means from now on New Conroe Info should be posted in New Conroe Threads? :p:

A little odd to "let this go" some 115 posts later... very well lol.

You're right...but its also because the latest roadmaps show Conroe closer to q4 06. So yea, we'll take each bit of news as it comes along :)

Not to mention that we have a steady balance of ATI and Nvidia threads sticked. SO if i were to keep this stickied, I would have had to sticky comprehensive AM2 thread as well to balance it out ;)

but yes i agree.....a different chipset for every time they make a new proc is pretty weak
