mmmmm nopeAnthraX said:No, the Allendale's are going to be released later. Conroe and Merom are the only processors to have been released. Allendale will run on an 800MHz FSB with 2MB cache, and most likely a stipped down core.
yes but there are supposed to be new onessssss!Trifid said:The 975X and newer 965 boards are the Conroe ones. There have been a few out for quite a while.
Tox1cThreat said:Intel is brining out more board soon. Bad Axe 2 is one of them.
As far as the allendale arguement, it depends on where you look, some sites say one thing, some say the other.

It seems that the only thing they can agree on is that allendale is conroe with half the cache. This is why it could be considered the same AND different, seems like theyre interchangable. Basically it all comed down to the idea of Core2Duo. Conroe and Allendalr (or Conroe/Allendale or ConroeDale or AllenRoe, whatever) are all Core2 Duo, adn thats what the "OFFICIAL" branding is, "Conroe" adn "Allendale" arejsut code/core names. I vote that theyre the same as there is no physical/archetectual difference, just the amount of memory.
As far as comparing it to a celeron/pentium scheme, its DEFINETLY NOT like that..
Its odd though, they are the same, but theyre not.. It really doesnt make a difference though, we all know what they are.
