0\/\/|\|3d: First Benchmarks: Conroe vs. FX-62

_{This posting will conclude my ebil crusade today. I started posting at exactly 06/06/06 06:06AM (yeah, I have to cheat, by posting crap several times, but I did it). So yeah, I have to post six(6) articles, with the sixth post, about being an uber fanboy post. And of course, the concluding post is made on 06/06/06 06:06PM}

Looks like 06/06/06, which is supposed to be AM2's launch (then got pulled in ahead of initially launched date), is a doomsday coming for A*. THG posted their first benchmark results today, and boy, its a 2.66GHz Conroe vs FX-62 AM2. If you are an AMDroid, prepare yourself for another heart ache.

Again, we must emphasize that our testing situation was not optimal, because the Intel system had been preconfigured and didn't represent the final version. Even so, we were able to determine that not even AMD's top-of-the-line Athlon FX-62 CPU running at 3.0 GHz could clearly best the pre-release model of the Core 2 Duo (2.66 GHz Conroe) processor we tested. This comparison didn't even use the top-of-the-line Conroe processor, which Intel plans to introduce soon.
