i dunno if i spelled that right...

neway, you may or may not know of conroe, intel's new platform and first step away from the aged Pentium line.

this article lays out Intels new plan for both increasing performance, while decreasing power consumption.

Intel plans to realeased three new dual core processors possibly based on conroe later this year.

I don't know if a new socket is planned.

Go look up old articles if you want more trash about conroe~ they annouced the plan to put it to desktops last summer.

The Conroe numbers coming in are insane~ the low end Conroe ($300-500) well above 20% on the little FX60 which is currently a $1000 processor. If Intel pulls it off, AMD has to go back to teh 3D Now days...AM2 is a general failure in terms of performance changes and with Kentsfield right behind Conroe, ouch.

meh....
