Re: But just what is in that special driver that Intel is running? Specially hand-optimized pathways for Conroe? You just don't know with an Intel setup like this. What are "hand-optimized pathways"? Do they use a soldering iron or a chisel to do that? I doubt all of those benchmarks were specifically tweaked for Conroe while specifically left untweaked for Athlon 64. But as a couple of my previous posts allude to I don't completely rule out some sort of benchmarking setup issue that is hurting AMD performance in comparison to Intel's. Thinking back to your "Osborne" comment...I believe the chilling effect will be on AMD rather than Intel. There will be a whole lot of "enthusiasts" and gamers (ones that would never have gone dual-core Netburst) who will hold out for Conroe this fall after seeing these benchmarks rather than buying a high-end Socket-939 or AM2 system this summer.
