Intel Conroe - First Benchmark
Victor Wang over at XtremeSystems has the first set of benchmark results for the new Intel Conroe processors.
Super PI 1M test passed in only 21 seconds using the CoreDuo E6600 in the upcoming i965 chipset. No overclocking was done, which means the result could likely be faster.

Since this is the same old non-dual core capable Super Pi, conroe seems to be a winner.
stable.
It shall be interesting to see AMD's DDR2 efforts this coming june. Conroe isn't slated for release till Q3 am I right? Unless AMD have done something wonderful with their DDR2 part I can see them getting their butts kicked come Conroe.
Either way we (the technologically knowledgeable buying public) shall win in the end. This could see a hit to AMD sales of their DDR2 as others wait to see Conroe in the Fall.
Just in time for my yearly computer upgrade splurdge buy!!! Roll on Christmas!!:D
Surely the goal of any enthusiast is to aquire the best performance for the best price? Regardless of who it is. :confused:
I used to have a 9800Pro myself. Loved it. My bruv has it now. Long time servant. RMAed 3 times :laugh:
X800XL was an ebay auction nearly a year ago. Got it at £155.:rockout: That will stay. Does what I want it to.
I should get overclocking again back to where I was before.
660 oc to 4.2 does it in 30 seconds flat..
this just means intel in synthetic benches can beat amd big woop. that proves that intel "theoretically" can beat amd, but can't in an actual application?(which 3dmark is).
overall we have to wait to see a real review this on was done by a complete amatuer, I mean what a bout pcmark, science mark etc?
ahh here we go, not bad.
I don't understand why some peolpe started to panic'n over what they've got (AMD) compared to Intel's Conroe! Just cool down.
Conroe is the future cpu. You just can't compare current AMD chips to Intels future chips. It seems to me that some peolpe are willing to jump into Intel already.
I just sit back and wait til Conroe comes out and see what AMD has to counterattack this game and from there you can conclude who's the king of the hill.
But just think for a slightest second, would AMD give this crown-performance up that easy?
I don't think so! They have had tried so hard to come to where they are now.
You gotta understand for one thing, Intel is very very good at PR marketing...show off things and what have you, but AMD on ther hand kepp things quite. Maybe this is their way of fighting Intel (so that Intel doesn't know where to aim)
My AMD FX55 o/c @ to 3Ghz it gives me 29 sec in Super PI and im not sooking because i know my FX 55 is old as hill compared to Conroe so to speak.
Just give AMD a chance to prove its superiority:D
AMD will have something later on, next year most likely. AM2 wont be that great. im waiting for AM3...40% faster transistor switching, meaning more performance per clock and less energy used to run the thing. AMD might use ZRAM for the L2 cache on the processor...google that...its pretty interesting. point is. put that together with AMD switching to 65nm, AMD could produce MUCH faster processors.
its just gonna take a while haha.
btw, my best superpi is 29.531s at 2.8 GHz...
Looks like my next system is definitely going to be Conroe-based.
