Yup Conroes' price is quite tempting... I wonder how much does their value processors cost (Conroe Celerons perhaps)...

Conroe @ 2.66Ghz score: 6761 (increase over X2 4400+: +22.5%)

Quick Conclusion(s): An AMD single core @ 3.6Ghz is approximately equivalent to an AMD dual core @ 2.66Ghz. (Shows the real power of slower DC systems compared to "faster" single core benchmarking systems. My, how things have changed....). More importantly, Intel Conroe is showing an increase in performance over AMD X2/DC Opteron CPUs in the range of 12 to 40% with an average increase of ~23%.

feel the power of the dark side. haha...
