Intel's Conroe Previewed and Benchmarked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the under-the-hood dept.

DrFishstik writes "Anandtech has a few preliminary benchmarks on Intel's new Conroe architecture. From the article: 'As far as we could tell, there was nothing fishy going on with the benchmarks or the install. Both systems [AMD 2.8Ghz OC and Conroe] were clean and used the latest versions of all of the drivers.'"

    I think the fact intel had to put two systems side by side to try "proving" they're faster shows their desperation. That kind of standoff where the intel can't perform just by itself without trying to compare to competition smacks of gimmickry over performance. AMD Still in the end wipes the floor with Intel and I'll bet real world benchmarks will show that yet again.

    Looks like another big yawn for Intel's next generation.

    That ars technica article is denial at its best. "intel faster? CANNOT BE!!!111"

    I suggest you RTFA before that kind of statements, the Anandtech article can be summarized as "Intel's chip beat the crap out of AMD's, and even though we're going to wait til we can do our own benches we didn't find anything that could lead to thinking the testing rigs were tampered with. Conclusion, even the M2 socket probably won't be enough for AMD to keep the lead".
