"Next years Intel chip will run faster than last years AMD chip!"
The Conroe beat the Amd on most things by a lot, but it didn't do well with encoding things. Expect to see even better chips later on with higher fsb and clockspeed.
I am impressed as intel's 2.66Ghz processor beat AMD's 2.8Ghz (quite a turn-around).
