As it turned out, and you may make sure you´re seated now, Intel itself provided the Conroe platforms for testing. There is an unlabelled booth in the Moscone centre that some hacks get invited to by some Intel folks. Intel must be pretty desperate about AMD gaining market shares while Intel made the analysts news with earnings warnings two quarters in a row. So desperate, actually, that the worlds largest chipmaker broke its own rules. You may not even get heavy on the hardware sites for taking the chance – it´s their business to do so, and how much more certain about a mature platform can you be, if the chipmaker itself set it up?
