Intel's Core 2 Desktop Processors Tested

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the smokin'-tires dept.

Steve Kerrison writes "It's early morning here in the UK, but that doesn't stop us from being around to see the launch of Conroe and friends, Intel's newest desktop chips. Even a $180 Intel CPU can beat an Athlon FX-62 in a number of tests. Now that's bound to get the fanboy blood pumping, right? We've also taken a look at a pre-built system that's powered by the Extreme X6800 CPU, along with an nForce 4 SLI chipset. As you'd expect, it's quick."

    Pick older competitors chip . . . Check
    Do comparisons . . . Check
    Start the 'Spin'-Cycle . . . Check

    Let the fanboism commence.

    This shows how ignorant you are. I know for a fact, Intel doesn't launch a product until it reaches high volume manufacturing levels--especially a cpu or chipset part. The yield of Conroe is VERY high at this point in time, I assure you. I have to post anon since I work for Intel and can get fragged for even saying this much .....
