Are the conroes 64bit?

[FrankJH]

which begs the question - has there been much 64 bit comparisons between X2's / Opty's and Conroe's?

I guess as Vista hasnt got anywhere near optimisation the only real way would be through Linux or a varient which wouldnt be much use to anyone.....

Maybe the Intel would end up on top again, but it isnt certain - is it?

I've seen a few reports that Conroe's are pretty good at 64bit work, certainly they dont have the same problems as P4's in 64bit mode.

I believe that if you compare 64bit performance of Conroe and AMD64, then clock for clock the chips are a lot closer than in 32bit mode. However I believe its still a 'slight' win for Conroe in most scenarios.

So in windows vista (64 bit obviously) the conroe might take a performance hit? Because thats the only way it would be made 'closer' to the AMD64.

Can anyone look into this?

He was just speculating. Wait for some 64-bit benchmarks to become available

Yep will wait to see some confirmed results, hopefully they will be just as impressive (or more) in 64bit apps! We will see.

Cheers.

Send me a Conroe, and an AMD64 system, and I'll run a full set of benchmarks on Vista64
