and..,?

core duo is not conroe

conroe wil blow off the amds

Core 2 Duo, however, is Conroe. That's also denoted by the E6600, which is a 2.4GHz Conroe chip.

That's a link to Core2 Duo, which IS...crap One4 :p

conroe kicks ASS

We'll see how much ass they kick when they're out in numbers. So far it looks like they'll deliver. If they're out of stock for until September, it's a fold IMO. Doesn't seem like the case though.

We gotta start calling them "Duo2" though.

I like "C2D" better. Or just C2.

No words were needed. What was I supposed to say?

See Jane.
See Dick.
See Core 2 Duo
See Core 2 Duo Dick Opteron LOL!

Yup, doing an easy 3 GHz is more impressive. Never mind the 3.5GHz stuff.

now lets see them compare it to a proper competitor like Opteron 265 or higher..

Why? 265 gets the spit kicked out of it as well.

The 265 would give the same results as the 165 in single processor configurations. If you wish to use a 2 way processor system, then compare to a woodcrest when it's out, or dempsey.

I might have to wait until after the Stuttgarter Folks Fest when I get back anyway.

boy did i miss that 2

and while we are at it lets support Intel for comparing brand new technology with 2 year old technology and say they really are that much better.
Lets find equal grounds before comparing apples to oranges.

i bet you have no problem comparing a A64 to a P4. P4's are 2 years older than A64's and everyone compares them

no generally I compare P4 to AthlonXPs, the Intel numbering scheme to the Athlon64s/X2s and such similar levels... soemtime there is no choice as to compare them but the Opteron/Conroe comparison is not one of them...

Wake me up when the E6700 is at Newegg.

The hell with with fair or how you think it should be done. When Conroe goes on sale, it will be compared to whatever AMD is selling at THAT time. Say stuff like OH no, I can't buy it because it is a diffrent Generation is kind of silly and invalidates every K8 vs. Netburst review out their. For the record, AthlonXP sucks ass.

So if you don't like Intel, big deal, buy what pleases you and no one has the right to try and change your mind. Just don't make bogus excuses while you're being loyal.

This page! Already exposes AMD's screte weapon, 4 X 4, LOL! One problem though, it's a nVidia 590 Intel Edition Reference Board that Dell talked about for their Renegade 2. Who says Core 2 Duo can't run in Dual Processor Rigs? This could end up being for Woodcrest.
