Intel's Conroe Previewed and Benchmarked
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 haven't read anywhere if it implements the 64-bit extensions, and obviously haven't heard anything about the 64-bit performance. And I _do_ care since I'm already running Fedora Core 4 x86_64 on an Athlon64 3200+.
