Have you been living under a rock? Conroe has been flying about the internet for weeks now, we all know it's going to knock AM2 out of the water

Mikey1280 · 18 May 2006 at 14:52

Hmmm I havent seen that before. . . . . . NOT

turbotoaster · 18 May 2006 at 15:01

i know ive read some of the posts about conroe, but 13seconds is something to really marvel at, some people have said that there was gonna be a and fsb wall on them(like yonah) but fugger off xs has proven there may not be, its gonna be mad how fast he gets that chip to go, each day wr are broken

harris1986 · 18 May 2006 at 15:14

wtf?

a intel conroe chip? whats next the wheel? :rolleyes:

jokes

in all seriousness yes conroe is set to dominate the computing market and i am one of the eager to get the chip

His 'Daily Gamer' is something to die for. That setup would cost around £6,000 Im thinking...

No wonder hes set WR's galore with it.

Have to say though... Isnt this nice for 3D 01?

Done by The Stilt and no doubt macci too

welshtom · 18 May 2006 at 15:56

yea, conroe is nice, just as A64 was when it came out.

The world keeps on turning ya know..

Bennah · 18 May 2006 at 16:00

Yup. As you say Tom, Intel was doomed when A64's arrived. Now Intel have the upper hand.

I have no doubt AMD will come out something special to get the crown back off Intel.

Just the same cycle all the time tbh...

welshtom · 18 May 2006 at 16:06

Yea, and of course we are being thrown these figures... which means everyone on this forum is like OMG look at that and have to buy one, but the average joe will never see speeds like that.

Im not dissing it, just the average person on here, even the overclockers prob wont even need the power it provides.

Their a64's at 3ghz will cut the mustard just fine for a long while yet!

I hope that AMD come up with something... I'm going to wait to see how things shape up before buying

Oh, Im also wondering what does the thread title actually mean?

"This is why AMD will lose!!!!"

Lose at what?

Actually if you check the early a64 benches they weren't that far ahead of intel, only later on did the a64 pull away, y'know after you'd bought the 754 chip and board, then the new revision 754 board, then a 939 setup, then the new 939 chips etc etc. Conroe looks to be a true killer app like none seen before tbh. Original athlon wasn't that much faster than p3, original a64 wasn't that much faster than p4.

welshtom · 18 May 2006 at 16:29

But what will the majority actually use that power for?

is it really needed. i think not

Lol since when has that deterred anybody???? Besides many newer games, oblivion being a fine example need all the cpu power you can throw at them.

welshtom · 18 May 2006 at 16:43

i suppose, i am being slightly hypocritical

*pats 3.5ghz 3700 and 3.3ghz x2*

locutus12 · 18 May 2006 at 17:08

so nice to see the cpu side of things is being flooded with over zelous fanboys just as much as the graphics forum.

harris1986 · 18 May 2006 at 17:09

hahaha <3 tom, whilst conroe is set to beat both a64 and am2, rumours are that K8l is going to be something to behold

stay tuned kids

welshtom · 18 May 2006 at 17:11

im not a fanboy by any stretch of the imagination....was just pointing out the fact that the cpu's today handle themselves just fine!
