i clicked on this thread to read a discussion on the FX-62 and i get this crap...
this should've been labelled "come bash MadModMike HERE" ...
 
ycon your the worst you supported prescott even though it sucked and conroe is probably gonna be even wth am2

sorry but AM2 was barly matching the current A64's (only better thermal specs) - and before you say "yeah that was using slower DDR2-667" - so was conroe.

Besides - (and i think most of us might agree) i prefer AMD to be releasing chips slower then Intel - cause AMD sells em so dam cheap (years back the AMD AthlonXP 1700 was the same price as the pathetic Celeron 1700 - thats what i like!!!
 
i doubt a slight revision is going to boost it to where conroe now sits, and the conroe still has time for last revisions too

there not going to close the gap conroe made

It probably won't, however, to pretend that the fixed memory controller won't improve performance on AM2 by the time it's released is just wrong.
 
The AM2 wasnt the latest revision which has the fixs for the memory controller.

The conroe is not the latest version, either. In fact, Conroe is going to be released AFTER the AM2.

I don't doubt that the Intel setup is a bit rigged. AMD fanboys brought up some good points: mass-produced chips perform differently than hand-picked silicon, among other things. Just the fact that they could claim 20% over AMD's lineup is a good SIGN: not proof of a dominent architecture. Even with a tweaked system, Intel couldn't have pulled that off last year.

Also, we've seen the capabilities of the 65nm process. We can probably count on a diesel EE Conroe at around 3GHz or higher.

I just hope Conroe take overclocking as well as the preslers. The 955 takes some real abuse...
