conroe is dual core?

is there any predictable price? I just wanted to get amd 4400 x2 but now meybe it's worth to wait a bit for conroe.
 
The pricing will be competitve.

If you can wait till AM2 and Conroe come out then I think it will be worth it. Both are offering improvements and new technology over existing processors.
 
i thought conroe was quad core...

the 2.66GHz conroe that was benchmarked against the overclocked FX-60 (2.8GHz) is gonna be around $530.

Actually thats not accurate.
We know what Conroe is offering becuase of several reviews of the chip itself.
We know nothing about what AM2 offering other than a few little tidbits.

So far its looking good for Intel.
 
ok final question. do you think that I will be able to BUY Conroe CPU plus motherboard for it, before the end of august?

Hard to say... it may officially be out at that time, but will the supply be, and will there be mobos for it. I'm thinking yes, but nobody here knows for sure. CPUs have been late before.

yes, it is. There will be no single-core conroe.

That's odd. I was expecting that there'd at least be some sort of single core chip on the same platform that they can badge as a Celeron whatever. It would be cool, though, if Intel goes multicore across their entire processor lineup (even the budget chips). I get a feeling that it's going to be a lot of fun shopping for parts if fullscale price war breaks out with AMD and Intel. It's been expensive lately with Prescott and the P-Ds putting Intel pretty much out out of the desktop computer performance game (and I'm saying this as the owner of a 3.4GHz P4 550 based system, so I'm by no means a fanboy).

I thought Merom was supposed to be the mobile version of Conroe

Intel usually releases desktop chips before releasing the mobile version

Not even close there..Conroe is the desktop version of Merom, and Woodcrest is the server/workstation version of merom. They are all based on the new "Core" architecture and have many many improvements over Yonah, which is a die shrunk dual core Dothan with some minor improvements.

Right.

There will still be some single cores, but only for budget and ultra low power I believe.

If you can wait til august, then wait til august.. whatever's available then will be cheaper than now.
