Intel Conroe performance previewed

SPRING IDF — We were among a select group of publications here at IDF to get a chance to do some hands-on testing with Intel's next-generation desktop processor, code-named Conroe. Although the results are obviously very preliminary, they give us something of a window into how Intel's new CPU may perform when it arrives. Read on for a first look at Conroe performance, compared directly to an overclocked dual-core Athlon 64 system.
