Insane! Conroe @ 2.66Ghz vs. FX-57 @ 3.6Ghz 3DMark05

Waaaaaaay down the road

Well, when AM2 initially releases, it won't have anything on Conroe, but maybe give AMD a year or two to produce a new architecture and we'll see a fight.

but remember that Intel is announcing new architechtures every 2 years. Thanks to Alvino for providing this information. http://xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20060428162855.html

I saw that on xtremesystems too. He set a new world record for Aquamark with the conroe. He did it with the crossfired x1900's and the conroe @ 2.7ghz. The old world record was with a FX-60 at some high speed and sli'ed 7900gtx's.

Haha, yeah. The AMD setup was phase-change cooled too. That's so sad...the FX-60 got owned by the Conroe, which was cooled with AIR! Oh man...even the ATI GPU's in CrossFire were air-cooled.

Yeah, the intel obviously runs much cooler given the voltage difference. Keeping the Intel cool with nothing but stock air and being over clocked that far, vs the FX-60 being jacked up with 1.6 voltage being forced to use phase change just to keep a stable temp.. and even then, the score was different by about 1,000 at the least.. poor amd, they have to take the back seat this generation. *shrugs*. ONWARDS TO CONROE!

the test up there was a fx-57

 

[MikeReiner]

*shrugs*, I meant 57. Still applies though, the 57 on that review had like 1.7 volts
