AMD Launches AM2 - Benchmarks Numbers from all over the web
 

Today AM2 is launched by AMD, in fact, it has been ready for launch for quite some time now, some shops had early sample shipment of final silicon 10 days ago already. We here at Madshrimps will try our best to keep our readers up to date with the benchmarks and articles on this new platform and share the links and snippets in this running discussion thread.

Our favorite hardcore hardware site HARDOCP has their first try with the AM2 platform and they compared it to S939 in their review, this is their personal advice on the AM2 platform, if you already have S939 DDR1:

TACO for Conroe

Mexican food?

Conroe is due in two weeks or sth?

edit: you are correct, launch for June/July it seems

total and complete ownage

AMD owns AMD?

nuttin'interesting! I will as stated before not upgrade a cpu until the fx53 breaks or hell freezes over (and when that happens (hell freeézing over) it will run at 4 ghz anyway)
as long as there's gpu upgrades to be had, who in their right mind of gamers/internet users needs more cpupower??

amazing how those benchmarks difference from site to site...

the hexus comparison with conroe is so way off.... real bulshit and again a bad system setup for amd.

The conroe will beat the fx for sure, no doubt about that.
for sure in all the benchmark programs, real gaming is much less.

conroe june/july lets see when you all have one.... i bet september the earliest
