Splendid
we already discussed in the other post why its not being detected, and anandtech check the system aswell, and check the benchmarks with others and you will see the same results and even if there 5% off its still far far away from conroe.
This is P6 tech guys - Pentium 4 let us down, but P6 never.
Lumanirus confirmed it cause he has the same board and bios
If this was AMD benchmarks we wouldnt be arguing bout them you would accept them but when its Intel you dont.
I was waiting for the fastest cpu and conroe has shown up and won - im getting a conroe.
I fully agree - as much as I am pro AMD and hate Intel. The Intel hate stemming from the simple fact that they removed SMP from Celerons back in 2000 making my ABIT BP6 motherboard useless.
Since then I have been buying AMD - even if the performance was not up to it - specially on the notebook side.
The new Intel CPUs is a SERIOUS wakeup call to AMD.
So engineers at AMD, you better get something going - else you will be back to selling at discounted levels in stead of current highly overpriced CPUs.
Intel is Seriously going to kick a*s with their new offerings.
I wonder how low the prices will go for AMD's X2's now that there (or are going to be) 2nd best in performance, and Intel charging good prices for there cpus.
AMD has always given us low cost performance chips (and usually hotter) within 10% performance, conroe somehow managed to slip ahead in short time which is amazing (it was done in less time then expected), and there proud of it and for once they have made a great chip.
If AMD ever makes a matching cpu, its going to be a monster, along with Intels answer, but it looks like Intel will be leading for a year or two atleast, along with quad core and so on (AM2, 65nm countered by Intel with 45nm quad core and soon after, Integrated Memory Controllers).
