oldaccount1 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sweet. Is the Conroe a P4? Are they ever going to do a P5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthalzen Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, at least Intel is improving, good to hear. More competition is better so we get more with less. (Usually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeeekyyy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 still dosent mean im gonna buy there crap lol AMD is the one who, for years, made CPUs that would overheat all the time and fry just by looking at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 because you can eally tell the difference between 350(AMD) and 532(INTEL)frames per second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Goo Intel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamend Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Nice scores, but I'll bet that the 65 nm Athlon 64's that should be available alongside the Conroe won't be clocked at just 2.8 GHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElite Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 now if it doesnt cost an arm and a leg, i'll buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 very good news. Competition always benefits the consumer. Hopefully these are still affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperOfThePizza Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I am for certain AMD will respond and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanToby Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Simply amazing, competition is good. Now everyone needs to slash 50 bucks off all their processors :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phot0nic Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 AMD is the one who, for years, made CPUs that would overheat all the time and fry just by looking at them. huh? I've used nothing but AMDs on my personal computer for about 8-9 years now, and never had any problems with overheating... in fact, no problems at all. One the other hand, I knew plenty of people that had problems with Intel chips (not overheating, though), and that's why I stuck to AMD. I've always preferred them, and I'm not sure what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 because you can eally tell the difference between 350(AMD) and 532(INTEL)frames per second Seeing as that's a pretty significant difference, I'd say you can tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokkolm Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 You can't say that Intel has beaten AMD when this a next gen Intel chip vs a current gen AMD chip. If you want to be fair then we'll wait for the next gen AMD benchmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 theres a pic of a quad core intel there, i want benchmarks of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salterbomb Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 to the people who are saying that we should wait for the next gen AMD chips, when is that going to be? the AM2 chips are same architecture as the ones out now, the only difference being they will have DDR2 support. and even then, the article firmly states that they have no idea how AMD is going to come up with a 30-40% performance increase to match what this intel chip is doing. the conroe chip is destroying that overclocked FX-60.

shihchiun Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Seeing as that's a pretty significant difference, I'd say you can tell the difference. No, you can't. Anything above 60 FPS or so looks the same, unless you've got Fraps or something telling you your frame rate. It would make a difference in other programs, where speed does matter.

AJerman Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I said several months ago that Intel would be back on top very shortly. This is just the start. I'm an AMD user myself right now at least, I used Intel when they were better, I could care less what company you are, I go for whatever is best at the time. Anyone with half a brain knows that companies like this go in cycles of who is better than the other. Normally once one company starts to fall behind quite a bit, they just produce mediocre products while spending more time developing the "next big thing". Intel and AMD do it, ATI and Nvidia do it, they all do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
