AM2, Conroe or 939

[PP Mguire]

They will make a Conroe that will smoke that too

Maybe but thats not the point. I'm waiting for AMD to be on top again because #1 I don't have the money for a new PC right now anyway, and #2 I just like AMD better.

You guys are still in denial of the benchmarks? Wow. Ridiculous.

You can't benchmark the quality of non-existant boards

Its called the Intel BadAxe.

well we have already seen Kentsfield benchies. I belive that it was a Kentsfield that broke 10s SuperPI 1M. It looks pretty fast.

Yeah but super PI isnt multithreaded so it was basically a conroe right?

Ok... how about a 6000+ AMD processor... lol

 

[Infomatic]

That would get beaten by the 2.93Ghz XE, lol.

They're probably be the same though, since that would be a 3.75Ghz A64, and would take a 2.88Ghz Conroe to beat.

 

[Lord AnthraX]

Since the conroe is 65 nanometer does that mean is gives off lest heat output then say a 95NM AMD?

 

[Infomatic]

90nm AMD*

And yes, it does. The Conroe gives of less heat than A64 processors.

 

[AnthraX]

Hence why it does so well overclocking on air, correct?
