Thread: Intel Core II Dual Function Inform

Before this month we collapsed you a taste of what AMD has to extend in their following era AMII platform establish for the Athlon 64. When AMD's fresh DDRII-based platform looks to extends smallish incremental function increase, and increased storage bandwidth, it is broadly corresponded that it is high-time that Intel reacts to AMD's consistent re-happening competitive threat, with something more on an exponential level. It is too widely understood that Intel response will at last arrive with the imminent free of Intel's Core II Duo central processing unit, code called Conroe.


Staying back state-side, choosing to miss out on this year's Computex entertainment throughout in Taiwan, we have been difficult at process with Intel Product Managers, Architects and Senior PR Managers, researching the function and architecture of Intel's forthcoming Conroe core central processing unit. This week, in an intimate closed-door session at an exclusive meeting with Intel in New York, we arrived in few quality time with Conroe and we have more function characterization solution for you here. While few publications have resorted to back-channel hacking both of hardware, unofficial through Intel, we have the actual deal for you.




Unluckily, we were again unable to construct and form the try rigs ourselves, same to the location we were in back in March when we first watched Conroe function from IDF in San Francisco. We did expenditure few time, however, snooping by the BIOS and OS and have assurance in the function metrics we will be demonstrating here. If you expect back at our FX-62 coverage, you will see that the overclocked 2.8GHz FX-60's function referenced in the proceeding graphs scales appropriately.


Early we acuired to the business of benchmarking, we burned up central processing unit-Z to acquire a deeper appear at the Core II Duo, and the platform that we tried it on. Please observe, that the 1600MHz clock velocity described through central processing unit-Z was a solution of Intel's SpeedStep tech cranking bottom the central processing unit frequency to preserve power. Too observation the complete Four MB of cache reported for together central processing units, and the fresh stepping of the Core II Extreme.
