Tech Report has a story up with details on Core, the new processor microarchitecture that Intel will be using for server, desktops, and mobile applications. One Core based CPU will be the Conroe desktop processor, which Intel says will be up to 40% faster than the Pentium D 950 while using 40% less power. Core-based products will come out later this year. Update: AnandTech has a Conroe preview with some nice looking benchmark numbers.

In the anandtech article comments, somebody noted that the BIOS used is many years old. It was used with the old AMD K7 processors. Intel looks like it has a nice solid chip lineup, but don't count AMD out yet based on some benchmarks which could be a little shady.

Those are pretty impressive numbers on anand. Have to see where things stand when both am2 and conroe are released. I miss the rock solid stability I had using intel compared to the troubles I've run into on my amd systems. I seem to get every chipset bug with amd for some reason. So unlucky.

I don't find this at all surprising. The two companies have been going back and forth with each other for several years now, which is a good thing because it helps benefit us, the consumer.

Likewise, many analysts had been predicting for awhile now that Intel would take a strong lead again performance wise the second half of this year with AMD lagging a bit behind until sometime next year. This release isn't really anything to surprising, it just backs up what insiders had been seeing/tracking for awhile now.
