I dont know what my chip does at stock speeds because quite frankly its never run at stock for more than a few minutes when i update the bios!

However at 3.7GHz my e6700 crunchs 1m super pi in 13 seconds.

The conroe does so well because of its shared 4meg caches, the allendales with there 2meg cache do suffer.

However they fare much better than athlon's which at best have only ever had 1meg of cache avaliable per core (the c2d has a unified cache both cores see the same cache) and currently most that are on sale only have 1/2meg of cache!
