Good reviews as always Kyle, I like the information given and the real world numbers.
My question is this, I read the review at anandtech also, and the conroe does seem to have some good numbers. My question is when will us enthusiasts be able to get them? god knows intel has been guilty of the whole "soft launch" thing in the past, I know you will be able to get your Dell XPS4million with one, but what about available CPU's and motherboards? I could easily forsee the "public" waiting 3 to 4 months to get a chip at a decent price.
I got sick of intel a while ago with the P4's lackluster performance and availability (took me a long time to find a northwood for somone when they first came out) , AMD has faithfully provided me and my friends whom I have built systems for, with fast, reliable CPU's for the last 7 years. I'm not gonna trade even 20 FPS to sell my soul.
Now, if there was just a decent gaming OS alternative to Microshaft, all would be well.
