Indeed, Intel

I thought the 2.67Ghz version was going to be $300, and something like $500 for like a 3Ghz version.

I checked out XtremeSystems and a few of the people there already own a Conroe. they posted pics of their step by step OC, and the performance of the E6400 was amazing to say the least. from 2.13Ghz to 3.0 on *stock* voltage.

so i'm with mass in waiting for conroe

What can I say, you thought wrong. Even without a $300 2.67GHz Conroe, these prices are AMAZING.

@ Jinru; Indeed, the overclocking potential is amazing. I'm going to try to get the forst couple of batches as they overclock the best.

i dont know its going to be hard for amd to top conroe

 

[Orayn]

Yeah. Their 65nm chips won't be out until late 2007, so it looks like Conroe will make a big difference in the gaming market until then.

 

[Green Radience]

65nm in itself wouldn't make a very big difference, its the new architecture (K8L) that has any chance of topping Conroe. As it stands, AMD has no hope of any Athlon 64 processor it puts out having any chance against Conroe.

65nm will make a big difference in prices. At least that's what Conroe is showing.
