I was shocked after hearing that Conroe wacked and FX-60 clocked @2.8 GHZ.
But I think that AMD will respond in no time, and even after AM2 is released, I think that Conroe would beat the Athlon 64.
But just for a few months, because I heard that AMD would release their new microarchitecure in 2007, and after the benchmarking of Conroe, the only thing AMD would think of is marking a earlier release date for their new microarchitecture.As for me, I don't mind waiting till 2007 as my rig would still be able to hold on a little bit.
AMD's K8L Architecture will include:
1) Hypertransport 3.0
2)DDR3 Support
3)Scalable SMP (instead of directconncect arhcitecture)
4)Extensions to AMD 64
and lots of other stuff

although this article states the AMD comeback to be in H2 2007, but when intel starts heating up conroe with more Gigahertz, then AMD will surely mark an earlier release date.
