Dual Xeon 5080's will blow Conroe Away

[meansizzler]

Anyone seen the specs on these, a Single Xeon 5080 which is a Dual Core 3.73GHZ CPU with Hyper Threading and 1066MHZ FSB , even one of these chips is enough to blow away an X6800, and two of them will smoke it...wonder if anyone on these boards have one...

The woodcrest in based on the Conroe Architecture and at 3 GHZ and 1333MHZ FSB and the Dual Core it would own every CPU out there, and thats just one of these...and considerign people are paying £600 for an X6800 a £1000 does not seem much anymore..., well not if your into video production...

Hmm.. Xeon 5140 gives the same performance if not better than the Xeon 5080 and its only £500, far cheaper than a X6800, Xeon 5080 retails at £820...so really not that much...
