don't lie tom u know u are 
this is why amd will lose!!!!!!

TBH I can't see the point in conroe. Games STILL don't take full advantage of the dual core CPU's so why would conroe be so much better (Unless its a single core as I've thought its a dual core 
)
Until programs and games start to use dual core to their full extent, most people won't be bothered with upgrading.

Because it is far faster per MHz regardless of how many cores are being used. It does superpi in less than half the time of my Pentium D (both at 3600mhz) making it much more efficient and highly clockable.

raikiri another point well raised good work
good workwow, someone lives under a rock.
yes it is better, but i personaly use my computer for games/office/movie and music editing i dont live and die by super pi and 3d mark.
So unless there is some massive speed increase for those things its not worth anything.
Ill stick with my x2 @2.75 for games, rendering and office and my p-d at 4.8 for music/film editing & encoding.

Lose what? I hate it when people say stuff like that. AMD have something planned for 2007 to counter conroe - but until then it will be strange going back to intel for me.
Last intel chip I had was a celeron 400. Just shows you how good conroe is.
...'tis nothing special Want to see something that will do that on air and not overclocked

Thanks for the personal insult
Im all for faster things, just i dont think they get used to their full potential on this forum. everyone just jumps on the bandwagon
Im all up for insane benches
(check super pi and major overclockers threads )

I think I agree with Welshtom, I'm glad to see faster processors but Iam not sure how much faster it will actually make things overall since the limitations are usually outside the cpu.
They foresaw this at least a decade ago, having data in the cache is vital or massive cpu speed is a waste - obviously superpi doesnt touch on this problem at all.
If it werent for this problem Intel would happily have every device based in software relying just on the CPU to task and shift data everywhere. Maybe they still hope to achieve this with multiple/parallel processors
