It's not really news to anyone that Intel hasn't had the desktop performance crown for years now; their Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors run hotter and offer competitive or lower performance than their AMD competitors. With Conroe, Intel hopes to change all of that. Intel setup two identical systems: in one corner, an Athlon 64 FX-60 overclocked to 2.8GHz running on a DFI RD480 motherboard. And in the other corner, a Conroe running at 2.66GHz on an Intel 975X motherboard."</i><br /><br />This article benchmarks an upcoming processor from Intel, and it cleanly beat the stuffing out of the most powerful CPU AMD has on the market today. But what is AMD cooking up next? 2006 will be an interesting year for CPUs, that's for sure!
