Intel's Core 2 Desktop Processors Tested

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."

"As you'd expect, it's quick."

Quick or not...Intel is just the Microsoft of the processor world.

I have come to expect just the oposite from Intel...I have not purchased a single processor from them since 1997, due to my perception of them being evil and making shitty products... I just can't handle a company who ditches 9000 employees right after they announce a new product, it makes me want to hurl.
