i actually find so many things wrong with the statements in these threads. for starters i wouldn't put a price on the conroe yet as i have yet to see something that is actually released at the prices mentioned beforehand. case: the xbox 360 was supposed to be released at a retail price of about $499 Australian, it was actually released at something over $700.
that statement doesn't make sense, i did fail my mathematics class last year (calculus mind you) but i counted roughly the same performance increase as Intel did. the final thing is.......stop comparing a next generation processor to the current technology. we also do not yet know if there will be any drawbacks to the conroe chips. case: NDS with the northwood chips where a vcore of above 1.7v would kill them. let this issue rest until the chips hit the shelves. then and only then pass judgement.
As for the benchmarks, Intel claimed to be 20% better than the AMD at the same clockspeeds, but the difference was more of a 30%-40% performance increase.
