Frankly, I think THG lost a few points for this "preview" that they've labled "the first official conroe benchmarks"...
Some things to keep in mind is they used DDR2-667 memory for Conroe, which the FX was benched at 800/933mhz stock and also OCed at 3ghz with the DDR2 clocking in at 1016mhz. Also the core revision of the 2.66ghz Conroe part is not listed.

These actually look like the worst benchmarks for Conroe that I've seen yet, oddly enough... Anyway if you are going to OC the FX-62 to 3ghz, you might as well OC the 2.67ghz Conroe to 3.8ghz on air... :mrgreen:
