Am I the Only One!

conroe is a very big thing for intel

intel's stock market shares are down, and the conroe could really help them out, or really not help them out haha

Have you guys been keeping up with AMD's prices?

All the talk about how AMd's chips are more expensive, but perform worse...is soon to change.

x2 3500? Haven't seen that. Anyways I think that is a positve note. I never did like intel and it's stupid advertising and all their stupid organziation skills on their procs. Go Amd! Looks like they are going to keep the crown and even pull farther away........

What? "Stupid organization skills"? Care to elaborate on that? Also, can you justify spending $149 on an X2 3800, rather than $183 on a Conroe E6300? $34 more for much more processing power is a bargain. Just look at this:

I just think that intel has a lot of different proc lines. LIke celeron d, pentium 4, dual-core pentium d, etc.... Also, some of the pentium chips support 64-bit os's and some don't. I like the way amd have their procs organized better in terms of how consumers look at them. As for intel conroe benchmarks. Are these conclusive or are these still ones that intel sees over? This kinda gives me doubt about conroe but then again it is one link.
Journal of Pervasive 64 bit Computing: Conroe performance claim being busted
 
Sorry, but Journal of Pervasive 64 bit Computing: Conroe performance claim being busted really doesn't explain much at all. What it is saying is that the 4 MB Cache is responsible for the massive increase in little tests like Molecular Dynamics and Primordia (Atom).

Well, I am not believing that, since FPS rates in games are much higher using a Conroe than an Athlon X2. Seriosuly, we would all be fools if this whole hype was down to a poxy little 2 MB Cache size difference...

Also, that blog post was made on April 8th. It's now the 21st of July, and you've only just heard of it. Does that say anything to you?

So, is that your reason for denying a Conroe CPU?

For example...?

I'm pretty sure they are conclusive.

70% off the FX62! Yes the Intel is 20% better but with a price! $999! SO the current price for a AMD Fx62 is $1,018.00 at the moment, 1018.00*0.70=712.6
1018.00-712.6=305.4!

I was just thinking about that. Where the heck did you get the 70% figure from? Lokk at the price change 4W4K3 posted, it says it will go down to $899!! Where the heck does $305 come from, then?
 
according to the price charts the chips should be dropping soon.

meaning i can get a better AM2 system


anyone know when the prices will drop on NewEgg

What does EE mean? And what is the normal wattage rating? (not 35 or 65W)

I think it means "Energy Efficient", since it's next to the models with lower power usage.

And most likely it will take at least a week for Newegg to drop their prices to what AMD is saying they will drop to. It all depends on the demand.

doh....*smacks self upside the head* I was thinking EE as in Extreme Editioni :rolleyes:

Do you know how much electricity the regular models use? I think that it is either 110W or 89W....but I am not sure which
 
For me ther is no "Loyatly" When I buy a new CPU its which ever company just came out with the most recent chip :) (Since they always seem to beat the others most recent chip..but not for ro long untill they come out with a better one)

Although I have to say this forum is more Conore orented then the others I go to, but thats nto nessisaily bad. Also this is my first post and look though the thread : /
 
I'll probly stick with the 939 socket for some time. Yeah, I'm interested in the conroe, but when it comes out and shops have them in stock, I'll probly buy an FX60. Right now, I can get one for £530, so when the time comes for an upgrade or they stop AMD stop bringing them out, I'll buy the top 939 CPU. I'd rather upgrade my current system than buy a whole new system. Im not gonna do that til mine cant handle what I want it to do.

That's a point, have they/do they plan on stopping the FX60 line?

Thats proabally what im going to end up doing this time, and was one of the main reasons i upgraded this one, i normally uby a cpu/mobo combo for frys for about 10$ more then just the cpu itself...but I have a AMD Athlon 3500+, but there is still a huge room to upgrade in 939 still.
