Conroe and Merom in the later part of second half 2006

http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2006/0224/intel.htm

Merom and Conroe will be announced , as confident pc.watch reports, later in the second part of 2006. I believe that will be in September.
Here is a roadmap that confirms Conroe launch in the 3Q. Any info more?

It is planned fast market takeover: 10% in the 3Q, up to 20% in the 4Q.

Let me conclude: If Conroe will be launched in 3Q, if it would have 20% performance advantage over A64, and if it will still would maintain its monoply it would be so. But will it be? You could find AMD boards by the end of Q2 and AM2 processors after June 6th. And K8L core by the end of year.

You need to provide that nobody purchase them until Conroe doesn't arrive. But will be so? pcwatch doesn't find promised improvement. In my humble opinion Conroe is a trade, its clock is 700-800 Mhz lower than Prescott's. Add claimed 20% to AMD currently competitive processor performance. Thus, Intel' effectively reduced clock for its Conroe down to for 1,5 Ghz , reduced significantly power consumption and didn't make any problem in return? Why they didn't make that in 2002? Their clock were than comaparable to future Conroe's , up to 3Ghz in November 2006 ? What Intel did in the meantime? Producing and well selling some processors? High clocked and bed performanced, that produced only a lot of heat but not a lot of crunching INSIDE? That I call bad hardware. Will Merom and Conroe be bad hardware successors ? We need to see their performance first. Lets wait for the Spring IDF forum, when some details on Conroe and Merom should be announced. To see is Intel's new microarchitecture 40-50% better in comparable clock performance than the previous one. That has never happened, AFAIK, in the recent history. But, if you want to believe in bad hardware as the good one, why not. Given money is yours.
