For me, they need a quade core for me to go back to AMD.

Yes my next one is a E6600 or something low Mhz from conroe that has a ton of OC potential.

Or a much more competitive product then now at the lowest price....


Quad core for me would work as well too....I like having 4 folding boxes in one....

ppl with opteron or X2 or Am2 are not going to change b/c the performance difference is no that big without OC, but E6600 can do 3.6Ghz and E6700 can do 4GHz on air easily, no benchmark has done compare a 3.6 or a 4 Ghz conroe to a max clock AMD ( 3Ghz?? )

Quad core with reverse hyperthreading (1 logical CPU)

With the possibility of dividing up the 4 cores into 2 logical or obviously 4 logical cores as well. Though everything benefits from 1 very fast logical cpu.

I need to see more gaming benchmarks anyway. The rest of this "impressive results" from conroe does not impress me at all. Lets see tons and tons of gaming results.
For the most part, I dont think my A64@2.5ghz would bottleneck many video cards even today.

I won't be buying Conroe for myself because AMD will be pretty damn cheap come end of July and will offer 90% of the performance of Conroe. I'm a bang for the buck type of person.

EDIT: I'm waiting for the 65nm AM2's.

Yes it has, by Xtremesystems.

I have an Opteron 165, and I'm buying an E6600.

since i'm not in the market for a CPU right now, i'm very interested as to how K8L will stack up vs. Core2

They won't have to do anything to 'win me back', I'm not 'leaving'. I started buying AMD because of their price/performance ratio, and my X2 @ 2.5 is more than fast enough for my usage, and lets me crunch twice as much in DC. Why would I change most of my setup?

By the time I need a big upgrade, AMD will probably have one, and the prices will be good, too.

That's exactly what I'm doing too... LOL...
First, I have to use a Pent D 804 for the mean while until I save up for the e6600 or e6700...

I'm on the E6600 plan too... hard not to be for ~$300 for a cpu that smokes an FX-62 and this is BEFORE you overclock it. Wow. :shocked:

AMD has to make sure 4x4 is doable with regular X2s to get my vote... I would hardly consider myself an extreme overclocker but I can certainly find use for a quad-core system... or three.

Meh better cpu and/or platform at the cheaper price which overclocks well (or in other words same value my 3800+ gave me for the last 4 months) when the next time i upgrade which will prolly happen in a year or 2, i can see myself upgrading the gfx card before that though :p. Pretty much i will go with whats best at the time could not care who its made by, at the moment it does not matter both quality is good, its not like in those days back in the k6 era with the crapy chipsets.

My heart is directly connected to my wallet. They can offer a FX62 for $299.

THat won't happen. What will happen is that you can get a E6600 for around that price and it will indeed outperform a fx-62.

Now this only applies to us overclockers.... but it's gonna be tough for amd to produce a chip that will be faster than conroe clock per clock and be able to over clock like mad crazy.

Look at the conroe... Its faster cock for clock when compared to k8 and AM2 but at the same time it overclocks like a freakin netburst cpu.

you can barely get 3Ghz on amd let alone 3Ghz

nothing from AMD till next year.

AMD has to go wider, like Intel did. What do they call it? 4 issue wide? As opposed to three. IMHO. Like the Pontiac commercials, "Wider is better" LOL.

HTX - that's gonna kick. It's probably going to be another 2 to 3 years before we see it though - but when it hits, the bottom will fall out.
