intel w/ nvidia gpu...

im waiting for conroe
same mate whats the price on those when they come out?
2.13 is 230usd
2.4 is 316 usd
2.66 is 550usd

and all those run as fast as FX60, most ppl will go w/ 2.4 and overclock it to around 3ghz
i sure know i will, seems like a budget chip with super power, well i will be ordering mine as soon as it becomes avalible and overclock it to maybe 3.6GHz with my vapochill kit, now that would be a fast chip.

how comes there going to be so cheap for the amount of power that they have is what i want know, what is intel doing that AMD are not?

Any release date for UK yet, and yes i did google and found nothing specific

I don't think i'd ever put an Intel chip in a machine of mine again. Cheaper, often give better performance and they prove that its not all about clock speeds! I can't say i've ever owned an ATI card but i do tend to stick to the same brand so i'll prolly stay Nvidia.
But this summer... intel has better cpu's than amd's...

Conroe (or core 2 duo, gay name i know) is cheaper, more efficient in instruction per clock, and higher overclockability (2.4 to 3.6ghz on AIR). but now amd pwns
Are there even any benchmarks for Conroe cores vs their AMD equivs? Comparing it to current AMD chips is quite pointless.
there is a benchmark on a conroe at 2.66GHz vs a overclocked FX-60 at 2.80GHz and the FX-60 got creamed in every test.

true... but how much will a conroe cost?
If Conroe comes about and everything else starts to drop, I'd just go ahead and get something cheaper.

Yes, that is exactly what he is saying! Thats like comparing a 7800 to a 9800. Different generations of CPUs are not going to compete. Not saying I doubt the Conroe's performance, but still.

As for me,

Intel (Pentium M) that is super cool, and OCs great.
Along with my x800.

go read the top...


for more info

fsb is at 266mhz (not pumped yet) 1066 when pumped (or total)
2.66ghz is at 10X multiplier
2.4 is at 9X multiplier
2.13 is at 8X...

btw, 2.13ghz conroe can cream 2.6ghz fx60...

you can compare it now since its intels latest against AMD's latest, but i dont see any success in AMD's K8L unless its gonna be around same price as conroe for same/ better performance.

Yes you can compare but, am i right in saying the conroe is made using 65nm fabrication process where as AMD are only just switching to 65nm..even there lastest AM2 chips are still using the older 90nm technology..so the gap has closed for the time being... "Production is still based on the 90 nm process but is now on 300 mm wafers. Plans are afoot to introduce 65 nm by the end of the year." ..give it a few month and AMD will be ahead again methinks!

but i dont think it makes much difference, lets see between 840d and 940d, i dont see much performance gain except for lower temps (higher oc). but yeah i kinda agree w/ u. but its still shocking for the price/performance ratio. intels saying "yo amd, our 200 dollar chip kicked ur 1000 dollar cpu in the ass!"

Yea, AMD chips will probably die in terms of monetary costs... which means... it's time for me to buy some

2 rigs:

Mine

3.4Ghz Intel with 9600XT, 1 Gb RAM

Wife's

2.2Ghz AMD with Ge4 440mx, 1 GB RAM

She only plays Sims 2, so that's OK!

I've just ordered a new mobo, 2 sticks of 1Gb RAM and a 7600GT for the Intel today, so by the weekend I'll be back in the game again. Trouble is, my legit copy of XP will complain about all the new kit and probably won't activate...unless you guys know otherwise?

AMD because Intel is much to expensive.

nVidia because of the SLI-Option (A8N SLI Premium) which is simple and more flexible than Crossfire.
