i think this thread has proved its point and is now jsut a breeding ground for AMD fanboys to enhance their ego (PC ego, whatever)

If i were a mod here it would be locked.....

What do you guys think about starting a new CPU Poll? Since this is extrememly old, and with new cpu's people have different views now.

and since amd outsold intel in 2005...

They did? I was under the impression of Uh....No.

AMD out sold Intel for the month of October, not for all of 2005
Chip-making underdog Advanced Micro Devices edged past Intel in October in supplying processors for the U.S. retail PC market, according to a study by research firm Current Analysis.
Intel has a firm hold on the overall number-one chip supplier spot for all U.S. consumer PCs, thanks in part to its exclusive deal with direct-selling powerhouse Dell. Still, AMD's October milestone illustrates the progress it has made in eating away at Intel's dominance.

I have a strong feeling that the Conroe is going to outperform the AM2 out of the water, since the only major improvements are that it supports DDR2.

A new poll when Conroe has been out for a bit would be interesting.

Well that won't be till the end of this year, I think they are scheduled to come out in October

But AM2 is coming out earlier, which should give AMD at least a slight advantage, especially for people buying Vista (when does that come out?) Will AM2 have anything in the mobile area? I am planning to buy a laptop in the coming 4 months (hopefully sooner) and depending on how much money I get I will either buy a Turion or an Intel Core Duo. I am not waiting for Conroe to get my lappy, but will AM2 have anything mobile?

I am not so sure about the performance of the Conroe (yes I have seen the reviews). It's a game being played by Intel....a demonstration of them working on something good, but nothing astronomical. I think the hype is greater than what the reality will bring. Wait and see ;)

JAN :D
 
Damn... this sucks. If Conroe beats AM2's efforts I'm going to be pissed.

I almost damn sure that I am going to upgrade when the new socket 940 releases, but if Conroe is as good as the hype is I might just wait... Thing is is I don't know if my computer will hold out for much longer... :(

What do you guys think?
 
Well Tom's Hardware Guide has reviews out right now of an AMD X2 4800 AM2 against the regular X2 4800, and it is really about the same, but only because it is only using DDR2 667. When they can use DDR2 800, supposedly, the performance will be leaps higher.
 
There's nothing interesting about AM2 and a Conroe release sample hasn't been seen yet. I'd suggest you wait and see how they stack up once they are released instead of making decisions on engineering samples :)

Vista isn't scheduled for release until 2007 last I heard.

They had benchmarks of it in sisoft sandra benchmarks, and it totally owned the X2. It got around double the X2 4800+ i think in the multimedia test.
