People people people. settle down. You can't argue that AM2 is better when benchmarks beg to differ, by a huge margin I might add. In reality the Conroe, wether you want to recognize it or not, is a better CPU, by almost 20% over the FX-60 and X2 4800+. Until AMD releases a new architecture or die size, don't expect to see AMD winning for awhile.
People, the facts are very clear, and very much out there and widely open to those who want to see them. Anandtech.com is a reliable source and has also done a failry good benchmark of the Conroe, as has XtremeSystems, anyone who has browsed the Processors Section will notice this. Just take ten minutes, search for a benchmark of Conroe against any AMD processor, and you will clearly see how much better the Conroe is in terms of performance and power consumption.
The Conroe uses as much power as the very first Intel Pentium did. The Merom uses even less. But hey, if you really want to get down to it, the Conroe is a better CPU, it saves you more money! You know that thing you pay each month, the elcetricity bill? Well, if you want, you can get an AMD processor, use more power, and end up paying a larger bill, or, get a Conroe, and save hundreds each year due to it's much lower power consumption.
But hey, who am I to tell you how to spend your money?
