*must avoid buying a conroe and save the money for other things*
nah can't see it happening really. Awesome chip

omg, conroe looks like it's going to absolutely pwn everything in existence. AMD better have something amazing up their sleeves!
Soldato
omg thats fast, just look at the Vcore. its sooo low.
On the microsoft sucking power note. Ive got beta 2 vista on my dual 3800 @ 2.9.. thats slow.
I need a conroe. now

oh right. 
Looks like the Conroe has a lot of headroom. That's good for Intel
Still, if Vista runs slow on 2.9Ghz X2, something is very wrong with it. An 2.9Ghz X2 is still in the high end and faster than 90% of what is out there (stats made up). If that can't handle Vista, then few will.

the bottom of the range models is gonna be the best for customers, just like it is with athlons, nobody needs FXs cause there pretty mediocre for there price, same with intel extreme editions, im predicting the low end models will be the best sellers. all reviews and stuff point to them all clocking well so they'll offer some good price/performance compaired to intels last generation chips

Yeah, silly, at that voltage it'd be drawing about 100amps.janesssssy said:oh right.
EDIT for Gashman: E6600 is the cheapest one with 4mb L2 cache. Any model with a number less than that only has 2mb L2.
Ten seconds superpi, simply incredible!
Hmm 11 seconds - time to go for the bigger test.
Reason
1) Timing Error - either a static % or a % of the result - that's still a large number.
With 11 secs, a 5% error is going to be a margin of 0.55 seconds!
2) Cache size - the test size verses cache size means it's a good test of the cache speed. However as the processing power requirement goes up - usually so does the memory required todo the processing. In essence this makes it a good maths unit with a small amount of data and large CPU process requirements..
Bring on the larger tests!
Disabling the other core means you don't have cores fighting over the cache and causing cache churn..

Here's some of the big stuff, both cores 32m stable at 4.3 ghz:
