Intels Conroe benchmarked!

[BRiT]

Isnt ddr2 1066 out already? Wouldnt that be the memory that is best suited then?

One of the typical high-speed ram companies just announced slightly faster DDR2; I think 1100.

OCZ Technology also announced the 1100MHz DDR memory modules but no info on their site yet.

obviously the higher rated ram would be faster BUT,
i mean at the same price point.

EDIT: ok i did some searching and here is a link for anyone thats interested, enjoy.

There will be a 315 dollar Conroe that is capable of a 21sec superPi 1m at 2.4 stock.(The 2.6 Conroe will be in the 500usd range)

VictorWang benched the Conroe I am speaking of, it's here:

Looks like it's going to be Conroe for me. Here the AM2 4800 has a 35sec superPi 1m. Now I know it's very loose timings and I don't think tightening them would net it a 14sec difference. (35vs21)

I am hoping DFI's upcoming 975X board supports Conroe on its release.

Intel has always taken SuperPI benchmarks, it's not representative of anything.

Time will tell.

For those interested, the links I provided from VictorWang have much more than superPi 1m benchmarks.

No benchmarks as such but the usual level of detail:

I believe Victor Wangs 21s on SuperPi atr XS is now old hat .. think more 18s still air cooled ..check out XS soon . Superpi is Intel biased but Yonah just scooped the AMD liking pifast title with a run by Coolaler on last generation Dothan.

Memrom is kicking Yonah's ass in preliminary benching and Yonah is kicking AMD's ass all over the place. The only thing holding these things back at the moment is the lack of motherboards.....

I have an FX-55 at present and also my old world P4 3Ghz Northwood on 875 chipset and before that an AMD T'bred on nforce 2 and before that a PIII on BX 440.

Notice the pattern ? Intel time again

WOW!!! Triple the amount of units and at least four times the amount of cache of an AMD64!

Silly, isn't it? That they spend about three times the amount of transistors, for roughly a 30% speed increase. But that's progress in semiconductors in a nutshell. At least the amount of die space will increase just a bit every time for two or three more generations.

I'm wondering what they are going to do after that? We'll probably see in about two years from now at this speed.
