just about what you would expect from 2x E6600 Conroe

But that's very good news, considering they are sharing the FSB.

Re: The benchmarks are not that special (just about what you would expect from 2x E6600 Conroe)

That's perfect. Keep in mind that Kentsfield is a single socket sharing a 1066MT/s FSB. The fact that Intel gets good scalability is great news, and it's way ahead of anything single socket that AMD can get in the same time frame.

If Intel can get Kentsfield to clock at 3.2GHz along with Conroe by the end of the year (which may be possible since Intel has already promised Conroe to hit this at 75W), then it will be beyond anything AMD will have to compete.
