Intel's Conroe Resurfaces, Benchmarks Strong

MojoKid writes "Intel has been occasionally leaking performance results of their upcoming Core 2 Duo processor for the desktop, code named Conroe. At this years IDF select members of the press were allowed to get hands-on access to test systems for benchmarking. Now, coincident with this week's Computex show in Taiwan, Intel has seen fit to show us just what their soon to be released CPU can do, yet again. Select press members got together with Intel in New York city for another round of testing with Conroe. HotHardware has a performance showcase posted with scores from a Core 2 Duo E6700 machine and a 2.93GHz Core 2 Duo Extreme Edition X6800. The results, compared against the backdrop of an overclocked 2.8GHz Athlon 64 FX-60 system, look very impressive indeed for Intel."

AMD and Intel have to stop with this ridiculousness. They keep coming out with faster processors, allowing Microsoft to create increasingly bloated software. I'm sure one day, when we have 16 processors per core, running at 20GHz, MS will have system processes that are purely wasteful, such as the following: while (true) { // do nothing }

Yawn

I've seen Intel desperate many times over the past decade or so but their current damage control PR push reminds me of Microsoft's flooding of the press with bogus "security studies" a year or two ago when their security nightmare became headline news.

Someone high up at Intel must have had some meeting were they basically stated flat out: "I don't care what you do, how much you have to lie, or how much cash you have to spend, I want to see the press flooded with favorable Intel benchmarks"

It's all God Damn Lies from Intel !!
