Intel controlled tests show Conroe slower than P4

In multi-tasking,

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/06/04/intel_conroe_performance_preview/7.html

"We found that it was faster than the current flagship Pentium Extreme Edition 965 processor in nearly every single-threaded scenario, but there were times where Conroe fell behind in multi-tasking scenarios. One area that completely blew us out of the water was the sheer prowess when it comes to gaming. This is an area where Intel has been traditionally weak.

This initial preview serves as an indication as to Conroe's performance - but again, we iterate that we will draw our final conclusions as to its performance when we have the complete, shipping hardware in our hands - something that no website or company has yet, save Intel. "

I have pointed out that Conroe has good single threaded performance (or only when one core is needed) because of its massive 4MB cache. In multitasking scenario, each core gets less cache, and performance drops immediately.
