I did see this however  http://www.xbitlabs.com/web/display/20060622104416.html
^^^^ they think the bottom end with hit 3.5 gig |
Hmmm, now those are the stats i was interested in (yours not xbitlabs), an 805 is only slightly worse than a core 2 at 3.7. So thats a 230 quid CPU against an 80 quid CPU and the difference isnt that much (at doing pi), but real world stuff (which is at the end of the day what we use the bloody things for) seems to be a lot better on Core2.
I wouldnt mind knowing how well the E63/400's do as they could very well be the best bang for buck.
I'll go off and have a look at your linky. Ta man!
EDIT: thats what we discussed above as that used the following:-

Not really something you or i have access to and that was also a pre-release conroe (i never trust pre-release stuff).
