The Conroe is here! We're happy to report that Intel Benelux helped us to be able to provide you with our own benchmarks and in-depth overclocking, CPU scaling and power consumption analysis today!
"The most anticipated CPU of the year is here! Intel has released the Core 2 which promises amazing performance at low watts. Does it live up to expectations? Find out in this review where we focus on overclocking, CPU scaling and power consumption."
~ Madshrimps
more Core 2 reviews will surely hit the web today, as usual we'll keep an up to date list in this thread, if you find one which isn't on the list already, please send it in!
HardOCP: We have proven here that the flurry of canned benchmarks based on timedemos showing huge gains with Core 2 processors are virtually worthless in rating the true gaming performance of these processors today. The fact of the matter is that real-world gaming performance today greatly lies at the feet of your video card. Almost none of today’s games are performance limited by your CPU. Maybe that will change, but given the trends, it is not likely. You simply do not need a $1000 CPU to get great gaming performance as we proved months ago in our CPU Scaling article.
seems the E6300 overclocking is not limited by the CPU , but by the chipset, as most motherboards have trouble reaching insane high FSB speeds to go with the low 7x multiplier of this CPU. X-Bit Labs has good a good read on that here: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...o-e6300_8.html
