The battle between AMD and Intel is heating up. While AMD still has the performance lead with its Athlon 64 FX-60 and FX-62 processors, and also offers better performance per watt, Intel is determined to reclaim the processor market with its upcoming Core micro architecture. The countdown has begun, and we are only a month away from the Core 2 Duo launch. This processor will replace the complete Pentium 4 and Pentium D family, targeting the Athlon 64 family in the desktop space.



Last week, Intel allowed the press to run a series of benchmarks on pre-installed Conroe test systems. Our German colleagues attended the Intel event in Germany and spent some time with the all-new systems. However, we were not allowed to release the results - until now.

#64774 Posted on: 06/06/2006 11:31 PM Two things stand out on this. The first thing is the following "First, due to the tests not being done under identical conditions, we can't guarantee that the configurations and driver versions for the AMD and Intel systems match exactly. Until we can test this new Intel processor in our own labs, unhindered, we can't drawn any sure conclusions about system performance and benchmark results." The second is that no CPUZ info is shown on the Athlon FX-62 CPU. Tom's hardware has a known bias towards INTEL. While Intel does make a good product, telling people that the celeron D cpu's are faster than Athlon 64 FX cpu's is sheer garbage.
