This thread discusses the Content article: Intels Upcoming Conroe

The IT world is abuzz about "Conroe" "Merom" and "Woodcrest", better known as Intel's Core 2 Duo architecture. All three market segments (desktop, mobile, and server) are transitioning to this new unified architecture. You'd have to have been sleeping under a rock to miss all the preview benches and tests of Conroe engineering samples being flogged around the web. The performance numbers are quite astounding, and definitely bring the fight hardcore back to AMD.
