INTEL CONROE CORE DUO 2 REVIEW VS AMD AM2 By :cpu review Posted:2006-06-18 xtreview is your : Video card - cpu - memory - Hard drive - power supply unit source In January of this year there were the mobile processors Yonah which have appropriated names " Core Duo " and " Core Solo " respectivly. It was supposed, as desktop processors Conroe will find a name which component will be a word "Core". For these processors refusal of use of the trade mark "Pentium" simultaneously meant also transition to new architecture so for change of "signboard" of the bases was more than enough. According to the new  announcements of processors generation Core, the first serial products should appear in June-July, now we have imperceptibly crept to the middle of May. So, it is necessary to start to prepare for public for a meeting with Conroe. Company Intel has already lowered the prices for processors of the previous generation, now on turn promulgation of new trade marks. As i have informed last week from  numerous sources, on this Monday company Intel will make property of the public trade marks and names of processors Conroe, Merom and Woodcrest. More precisely speaking, this news in a greater degree concerns first two families for server processors Woodcrest will simply join modelling line Xeon under a symbol " Xeon 51xx ". Much more interestingly business{affairs} with evolution of trade marks of processors Conroe and Merom are: they will receive an identical brand " Core 2 Duo ", desktop processors will concern to a series " Core 2 Duo E6xxx " (models about 1066 MHz bus) or " Core 2 Duo E4xxx " (models about 800 MHz bus), and mobile processors will concern to a series " Core 2 Duo T5xxx " (models about 2 Mb of  cache) or " Core 2 Duo T7xxx " (models about 4 Mb of  cache). Frequency range of Merom at the announcemnt  moment  will lay within the limits of from 1.83 up to 2.33 GHz, for Conroe it will make from 1.6 up to 2.66 GHz. In the further it can extend both aside increases, and aside reduction. We have studied processors Conroe XE, a semblance of a photo of one of which only yesterday, will receive own trade mark - " Core 2 Extreme ". Apparently, counters of the first the processor with frequency will start to master of 3.33 GHz and 1333 MHz the trunk, but some source specify That should be the max from the Core 2 Extreme with frequency of 3.0 GHz. It can happen a little bit later, when processor Pentium XE 965 (3.73 GHz) and then Core 2 Duo Extreme 3.0 GHz become it replacement will quit the stage, having kept and moderated for Conroe the price in $999. Considering, that company Intel is going to represent new architecture each two years, it is possible to assume, that old dreams of owners Pentium 4 to see processors with designations " Pentium 5 " or " Pentium 6 " at last are realized in a little bit other kind: for example, in 2008 processors Nehalem will receive a name " Core 3 Duo ", and in 2010 processors Gesher will receive a name " Core 4 Duo ". However, the word "Duo" in process of increase in number of core can give a up the place to a word "Quad" or similar. The existing designations  , in our opinion, contains elements of a tautology, in fact figure " 2 " and a word "Duo" are faithful :). we have today picked the top line cpu from intel and amd and made a complete performance review those processor system used Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 (2.93GHz/4MB L2/1066MHz FSB) AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 (2.8GHz/1MB x 2/1GHz HT) Intel Pentium XE 965 (3.73GHZ/2MB x 2/1066MHz FSB/HT) MSI 975X-Platinum (i975X + ICH7R + VRM11) Foxconn C51XEM2AA (nForce 590SLi) Corsair DDR2- 8001 GB x 2 (CL5-5-5-15) Gigabye Geforce 7800GTX 256MB (430MHz/1.2Ghz) Delta ServerPower 550W Windows XP Professiona w/SP2 nVidia Forceware 91.28 Beta nForce Driver 9.34 for nForce 590SLi Intel INF Update Utility 8.0.1.100 2 conroe core duo gaming review conroe core duo 3d 2005 benchmark overall score conroe core duo 3d 2005 benchmark cpu score conroe core duo 3d 2006 benchmark overall score conroe core duo 3d 2005 benchmark cpu score the overall result from 3dmark serie do not vaie a lot with cpu used it is almot negligable .note that 3d 2005 and 3d 2006 benchamrk are video card based.but we are intersed in the core duo cpu performance  . it clear that the conroe duo cpu top out all other cpu ecpecially in cpu test it is about 30% faster according to 3dmark test even the top end amd serie could not keep with it conroe core duo gaming review conroe core duo battlefield 2 conroe core duo quake 4 conroe core duo Fear conroe core duo doom 3 all those test has been done in 1024/786 resolution to test the cpu performance.amd 64 architicture has been alwais more optimized for game. it sweem like intel has lloked to be the leader in all case .from history amd has alwais done more work per cycle the only think that was alwais holding  amd cpu back the memory performance. with the realise of the A64 core this probleme was solved and even more the memory controler becaume  a part of the cpu it is fully integred with it .now amd has realsed the am2 and added the ddr2 support the amd movement is somehow dispointing for all amd user the performance improvment was as small as 5% and is some case wrose than the current 939 cpus . here in gaming benchamrk the conroe duo cpu prove his efficasity it bellow at the amd2 fx 62 in all gaming test ith high average fps. the performance of the cpu could be observed especially in the doom3 and fear test there is a use of complex shader the faster the cpu the  more quicker the faster will go the game . the conroe duo cpu is about 20% faster than the 2.8 ghz amd conroe core duo sandra conroe core duo cine bench synthetique benchmark from sandra has been alwais good for alu and fpu unit .the amd cpus has alwais strong fpu unit but the conroe duo core show it is even better conroe core duo pc mark 2005 conroe core duo  science mark 2 conroe core duo super pi benchmark conroe core duo video encoding benchmark conroe core duo windows application conroe core duo overclock only yesterday we had the chance to overclock the conroe under luiquide nitrogen we had looked for 4.5 ghz ++.this could be achevable the new B0 core: on a motherboard with good opportunities to increase the vore voltage. the processor with a high multiplier (10x) under influence of liquid nitrogen has not wanted to go over 4.6 GHz. What could be the  bottleneck? Most likely, the motherboard which cannot simply go  over 460 MHz. How to improve the overclock result?just with finding motherboard with higher overclocking potential , or to use a processor with a unlocked multiplier. their is only one conroe cpu capable of those adjustment this one is the Core 2 Extreme X6800 (2.93 GHz). @ this speed we have looked for 11 s but conroe was capable off more .10s is awesome result Pay attention, that during this experiment the multiplier of the conroe processor has been lifted up to 12x though on nominal frequency of 2.93 GHz . It once again proves, that Core 2 Extreme X6800 will have a free multiplier. THe cpu is able of more so bear with us the result of overclock with benchmark should be availble soon xtreview is your : Video card - cpu - memory - Hard drive - power supply unit source we would be happy to answer for your question . if you have suggestion or comment regarding this review our support would be glad to help just join our forum and ask u will get the best answer to discuss check our forum section :-) RATE THIS REVIEW 1 2 3 4 5    / 5   View Stat
