by conroe i refer to kentsfield(merom...what have you, the 65nm c2d) for the sake of posterity, not penryn, as that is on a different process(45nm), with instruction tweaks.
We could argue all day over little details, the maths is all there for you to see, if you don't accept it thats your prerogative. Its also a somewhat moot point since 65nm C2Ds are EOL, Intel has crossed over to 45nm for a while now.

On a somewhat different note, I'm not sure why AMD is releasing Kuma at such low clocks. IMO they should have released it at 2.5GHz or more so it outperformed existing K8 X2s.
