dlewis23 Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 huh can any one explain me if conroe is the name for the new intel server chips i dont really memorise all thise just- Conroe is desktop, Merom is mobile, and Woodcrest is server. conroe, is going to be one super fast processor, and im already saving for one.

Swimmer Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 Conroe is what Intel is calling the AMD killer for the desktop.. we will see if AMD's AM2 platform will answer back.. As far as being cooled.. everything should be air cooled from now on.. there has been a huge push to make is so that there will not be another prescott line of processors ever again. The new trend is high power, low heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 we will see if AMD's AM2 platform will answer back.. from what ive herd AMDs M2, is not that impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 you get ddr2... I dont know if it will create the potential for a new chip.. but it is worth a shot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 Actually, Conroe may be that much better than P4s, in gaming there's not such an obvious difference and the 2 - 10% increase from going AM2 might often be able to close the gap or even surpass Conroe. Not to mention AMD on 65nm, which will bring higher clocks, cooler CPUs and bigger yields. This year, computer hardware is going through some very interesting evolutions.

disturbed Posted April 23, 2006 CID Share Posted April 23, 2006 i think amd m2 are gonna be very nice amd 64bit processor has a superior design even as it is - moving the memory controller from the northbridge to the processor was a big step - thats pretty much what made the starting 64bit lineup perform that much better than its competitive intel processor adding ddr2 and increasing the stock speeds even more will be a good step up for those processors all in all, sometimes amd is ahead, sometimes intel is ahead - its a big game of catching up that will never stop - although, i still prefer amd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted April 23, 2006 CID Share Posted April 23, 2006 AMD as been in the lead for quite some time in the desktop arena. I personally would like to see Intel take the lead for a little bit even though I am an AMD supporter. Competition drives innovation in the CPU market.. As far as the AM2 processor.. it isnt look like it is going to make a huge performance difference moving from ddr to ddr2.. tom's hardware ran a story on it a while back (using a proto processor)..http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/02/21/a_look_at_amds_socket_am2_platform/index.html So.. Intel might take it for a little while.. then AMD will fire back with their new 65mn processor later this year (Q4ish). All in all it looks good for the consumer in the long run! As neither of these companies want to be number two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted April 24, 2006 CID Share Posted April 24, 2006 Here we go.. AMD bumped the launch of AM2 from June to May 23rd.. All the mobos are ready.. so why not.. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1854 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the mobos are ready.. so why not.. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1854 i think AMD might be all little worried now, about conroe looks like they are trying to get as much money out of it as they can, before conroe comes out.

RTB Posted April 24, 2006 CID Share Posted April 24, 2006 AMD also needs time to tweak the DDR2 mem controller, the original was exceptionally efficient, but this one isn't yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted April 25, 2006 CID Share Posted April 25, 2006 had a look at come conroe machines at work yeah guys, all you read is true, they are kick ass start saving up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
