  1. Save condolences for intel fanboys by Saven+Marek · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I think you should save condolences for intel fanboys :>

    The last month has been unbearable with them conroe this and conroe that. And what did I say back when they were all waiting for their chips? I said intel you will have your ass handed to you on a platter before conroe is released.

    And thank you AMD this is exactly what you have done. All the intel hype was hoping conroe could beat AMD's old generation S939 chips and that's what they did, but that was a chip intel will release in 6 months beating a design more than a year old! of course that will happen.

    Now let's see if intel have the guts to compare conroe to socket AM2 so cavialerly? I doubt it I doubt it very much. You have too test current models against current models or you are just hyping thin air.

    Try better next time intel
