AMD chips hammered by Intel Conroe
By INQUIRER staff: Friday 14 July 2006, 07:07
INTEL LIFTED THE VEIL OF Isis, sorry a non disclosure agreement,
from its "Conroe" Core 2 Duo and "Extreme" processors with a spate
of hardware sites saying it beats up AMD chips.
For example, PC World described the
Conroe chips as running "blazingly fast" in its tests - saying
they're the fastest chips they've ever seen.
The chips, as we've noted here for some time, get a formal roll out
on July 27th, but Intel wants the hardware sites to fanfare its
arrival.
Tweaktown says here that the Core 2 and Core 2 Extreme "seem to be
everything Intel promised and then some".
The conclusion at Tech Report is that
Intel has "recaptured the desktop CPU performance title in dramatic
fashion". The Core 2 Extreme and the Core 2 Duo E6700 "easily
outperform" the Athlon 64 FX-62 across a range of
applications.
Hexus.net says "it's difficult not to be wholly impressed with
Intel's Core 2 Duo processors".
