INTEL decides to play it safe by only clocking the Conroe XE to 2.93 GHz as opposed to the suspected 3.33GHz. Further allowing headroom for future clock bumps to leapfrog the next AMD high end release if needed.

TheINQ said:Intel looks to be doing what Nvidia and ATI keep doing to each other, waiting for one side to pick a number and then beating it by just enough to claim victory. This ups margins and makes for a more profitable part, or a cheaper part if it is feeling altruistic.
Intel set the bar where it wanted it to be, and it does indeed look to be "enough".
