These benches are all done on a intel system, under intel supervision. Thats not a controlled enironment where proper benchmarking can occur. Yeah it beat out amds flagship cpu, but exactly how they did it is the mistery. Now they're creating this big hype bandwagon, clearly people are too quick to forget the intel I remember, and are jumping on this thing in droves.
Now this is what gets me. Even after I explain it, some
[Flame, that could get you banned, SNIPPED] like you has to come and make a comment like this.
You people need to open your freakin eyes and check out that everyone isn't copying everyone else's charts. That is a chart from a totally different website, not the Intel ones from Anandtech. And even the Anandtech ones were changed to a more custom version.

then why not tell us where the heck it is from? i'm not going to debate whether or not the performance difference quoted is accurate but to me that graph doesn't even make any sense. it lists 4 games and only one result, it doesn't have any units of what the mark is (presumably FPS) and unless you post the setups these benchmarks where taken on it is totally invalid evidence.
i am not saying conroe is bad in fact it is obvious that it is going to be *almost* revolutionary but like Sui i too think that everyone is far too invested in something that as of now has not been "road tested". revise your debating skills and have a nice day
I didn't post the benchmarks because I was trying to make a point you *****. "Road tested"? You're an idiot, thats all. A billion Conroes at XS, and another Billion all over the web. You can
[Flame, that can get you banned, SNIPPED] if you say it isn't "road tested." Its a month from release, nothing's going to change.
Benchmarks, for the [Flame SNIPPED] like you.

Lets just consider for one moment that the conroes they used in the intle benchmarks were overcloaked and were superoir to standard conroes.
Does this sound like the stupidest thing on the planet to anyone else? I love how noobs are coming out and acting like they know the computing world inside and out. To ****ing **** with the Intel benchmarks. What about the other 200 benchmarks out there? And you don't just make a better core for the **** of it. The Conroe is the Conroe, and Anandtech atleast checked to see what the hardware was running at.
If Intel did anything like what you're accusing them of, they'd be committing suicide. They aren't as
[Flame SNIPPED], I assure you.

And what about the other factors? conroe cost a **** of alot more than AM2, and what about heat? i think that the absurd cost of the conroe will make it very hard to swallow for most consumers. when you have a very capable cpu that cost $200, and a very capable cpu that cost $530, more people will go for the $200 cpu.
And these are the kinds of
[Flame SNIPPED] I'm arguing against? The C2D E6400 is a $224 processor and beats the FX-62, which will be $999 on July 23rd (Its $1300+ right now). Yea, I dunno about you, but I, and most of the rest of the sane planet, is going to go for the $224 Core 2 Duo processor.
Some of you people scare me.
