"But this is impossible. If the Conroe is this good, why would they sell it for $239?"

I dunno, everyone is extrapolating from a handful of selected benchmarks. Given that it isn't likely that Intel selected benchmarks where NGA does poorly against K8 and the fact that NGA is very likely to perform extremely well on workloads where there is a predictable pattern to data fetches and may not do very well at all on things where there aren't, then this extrapolation seems error prone.

You would think the fact that Intel keeps other benchmarks under NDA would raise some suspicions...
