Conroe competition

[ted34]

AM2 coming out early in the hope that amd will make some money but the conroe competition k8l wont be released until 2nd half of 2007 which apparently will run on the am2 socket so upgrades wont be too bad:

Expect conroe will be much better than it is expected by the k8l release. Amd are way too far behind with this but could create some better competition between the 2 companies and so keep the prices a bit lower

Even if it can compete against conroe its over 6months away so imagine what intel will have brought out by then in terms of new product line. Still its good to see that the am2 socket wont be a complete waste and most of us will probably end up using it. Think the big thing will be the first company to bring out quad core which im guessing cant be too far away

Let's hope AM2 is a platform that lasts.

Everyone says that when a new platform is about to be released. Think i'll stick on 939 until the k8l is out and had most of its bugs fixed
