I think the way to read the comparable IPC is that Conroe with 2 cores will have similar IPC as 2 core K8L. Monolithic quad core will likely have some advantage over MCM. DC performance is still in question in my mind. Intel will probably still have some advantage for integer, but AMD should have a large advantage in FP performance. Quad on the other hand looks extremely promising for AMD. One good thing about Quad FX is it gives a crude first look at comparative QC performance. Forget about the price and power. The performance is right there with Intel. With the improvements of Barcelona, there should be a very large performance advantage on the AMD side. I'll wager that we see Barcelona demo'd side by side with Kentsfield on the 14th.
