This happened to them, you tell me

3.0ghz = 68fps
2.6ghz = 78fps
2.4ghz = 85fps
2.2ghz = 95fps
2.0ghz = 100fps
1.8ghz = 112fps
1.6ghz = 124fps
1.4ghz = 141fps
1.2ghz = 165fps

very counfused... should be the other way around....

Yep, but thats how it is, and thats why i cant include far cry.

meh, i wanna see amd's 65nm process, i think comparing 90nm vs 65nm is bogus... but again, conroe seems to be a hell of a cpu...

... today vs today

not future vs today

conroe is today

i dont care, comparing cpus that use same technology is more of a fair comparison wouldnt you say?

Lend him a 65nm AMD CPU then, and i'm sure he'll be more than happy to do the comparison for you.

I'd be waaay more than happy to

I just love pre-release hardware

fisrt off, i dont care about stock speed, AMD cpus have had cold bug for quite sometimes and i doubt AM2 doesnt, as for Conroe, some ppl in XS like fugger said htey were able to boot conroe at -150 C, not that my vapochill ls is that good only at -50c but the OC ability is just insane, E6700 can do 3.7 at air cool with DFI mobo, and i havent seen any good AM2 OC result

but anyway, if any of u find good AM2 OC results, pzl do post-

I have seen a few posts about mobo used on conroe are dieing.
No one has discovered the cause yet. Intel is aware of it and says is working on it.
Anyone knows why or if these are just user's F up's and nothing to do w/ conroe?

 

[BlingBlingArsch]

hm is there a correlation between the age of a specific game engine and the gains it sees when ran on a conroe? i mean "older games" like source or cod2 dont see much performance increase while oblivion or fear do. how come?

 

[compgeek89]

COD2 is newer than FEAR

 

[compgeek89]

I just got a new Conroe E6600, Step 5. Dual priming @ 3.85GHz for 1 hour already.

Open up a can of w00t....

 

[LittleNemoNES]

Wow. Amazing. Hope to see Oblivion performance in cities since all the AI gieves CPUs a beatdown.

 

[compgeek89]

3.85GHz prime stable... 1.56v

sorry for double post, I can't delete it, so meh =\

 

[soydios]

Holy guacamole...that's a crazy-fast FSB. The quad-pumped FSB is getting up to the speed of the base model C2D. Nice benchies.

 

[Roy2001]

It is not surprising at all. At 2.4Ghz stock spead, E6600 beats FX-62.

 

[Pabster]

Any point to dredging up this old thread?

I didn't bother to read but why the heck did they use different drivers for the video card? Seems a major shortcoming. I'm not saying the difference had anything to do with the drivers but usually when you want to compare something properly you need to make sure there is no possible confouding issue
