Re: the 2.4/4MB will also only be $315 and that's only 10% slower so maybe on a par with the top DDR2-800 2.8 FX62 of the time Mas, X2 will be at or above 3ghz by the time conroe is available in volume. The doubled (100% faster) FSB of the AM2 parts coupled with larger cache increases IPC performance by 10%. That means that relative to the tested chip, AMD will be at 3.3ghz (eqivalant) or higher when conroe comes out. 2.66 conroe and "Intel Prepped" 2.8ghz Athlon X2 were within a few percent of each other on some multithreaded applications, so a 3.3ghz (equivalent) Athlon X2 will trounce any Conroe at 3ghz or less. The cases where Conroe was beating X2 by large numbers turned out to be Conroe running at 1024x768 and Athlon running at 1280x1024.
