[Edited]@Eracer - Benches To show performance with Aquamark or 3DMark is really strange for me ... just look at the GPU people which highly optimize for this or that benchmark. So it is "normal" to get 5% higher scores with a new driver here and 0% in real games - thats reality. Nethertheless, performance from Conroe under old apps seems to be very good. I haven't factored finally out, whether the main-factor is the 4MB L2 or the 4 decoders, which seem to work great. When you ask me, the most benefits come from here ... which will be also worked into the K8L. Finally its clear, that the IPC from NGA is great, I really don't question this, the most important question for me is, how high could Intel clock these parts at a given W-number? Also here it seems, that with higher voltage the parts work great and the 65nm process seems very healthy, but I'm not sure, when you factor in 65W. Or differently spoken, its my feeling, that we will see higher parts (80W or more) faster than many think ... Edit: I'm excited to see first 64BIT Benches AM2 vs. Conroe. ;-))) (mainly under Vista) BUGGI
