Here Comes Intel Conroe - Reviews to hit the Web Tomorrow

Intel is set to announce its long awaited Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors tonight, July 13th, at midnight. Initially shown at the Intel Developer Forum 2006, Intel’s Conroe was shown beating out AMD’s fastest processors from high end Athlon 64 X2’s to the gaming and enthusiast oriented Athlon 64 FX. Intel also previously launched the Core 2 architecture based Woodcrest Xeon 5110, 5120, 5130, 5140, 5150 and 5160 models. With the new Core 2 architecture Intel is moving away from the megahertz war and moving towards higher instructions-per-clock performance and improved power efficiency instead.
