Intel's CONROE is 20% faster than AMD chip

Intel touted their next gen processor as 20% faster than AMD chip [kuno]..basin another press release bluffs nasad ni

i think AMD still has an edge over Intel coz of its integrated memory architecture..but we'll just see the real world benchmarks in a couple of weeks if indeed Intel is true to their words :mrgreen:


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intel expects its forthcoming Conroe and Merom chips to deliver a performance advantage of at least 20 percent over chips from Advanced Micro Devices that are slated to be released at the same time, an Intel executive said Friday.
...
Intel has already disclosed a few details about NGMA. It uses 14 pipeline stages instead of the 31 used by Intel's Pentium 4 processors. Information is processed through a processor's pipeline. The more stages in the pipeline, the less work each individual stage performs, requiring the chip to run very fast and therefore very hot. Intel has moved away from that design strategy in favor of smaller pipelines that do more work per stage, and can therefore run at slower clock speeds.

The microarchitecture also allows the processor to issue four instructions per clock, rather than three, as on Intel's current chips. It uses advanced branch prediction technology borrowed from the Pentium 4 designs.
...
Intel has been hesitant to embrace the integrated memory controller since the failure of its last attempt to use such a design. Integrating the memory controller allows that vital gateway between the CPU and the memory to run at the speed of the processor, whisking data into the processor at a high rate of speed.

It is possible, try searching for Pentium M benchies since those new processors are based on that architecture, plus minor design changes a whooping 4mb L2 cache. It might be possible indeed lets just wait.

"The combination of all those architectural changes will allow Intel to outperform AMD's planned offerings for the second half of 2006 without having to resort to adopting AMD's integrated memory controller design, Eden said. "It will take at least a year and a half to two years to close such a gap.""

Wow even Intel admit that they are left behind AMD's performance, that is so honest.

black and blue, man, black and blue..

too see is to believe

[Joard_64]

20% faster cguro pero sure 50% more expensive and more hotter!hehehehehe

[potterboy]

hmmm. i guess this time theyd try sumgthin way better off with their previous ones when it comes to temp control. basin bugnaw na. ang problema, basin init sa bulsa.

[nitto1320i]

murag init dyud na sa bulsa. karon paman gani murag nipalit nakag second hand na civic sa gwapo na setup.
