Interesting. We saw from the Sandra results that Conroe did not get the highest memory performace prize, and here we can more clearly see why.

The stock Conroe turns in a respectable performance - beating the stock and overclocked FX-60, stock D 930 and stock Opteron 170; and once overclocked, it also manages to beat the stock X2 5000+ and overclocked Opteron 170 - HOWEVER the stock FX-62, and overclocked X2 5000+ / D 930 / FX-62 all beat the overclocked Conroe.

Stock FX-62 beat stock Conroe by 23%.

Overclocked FX-62 beat overclocked Conroe by 6%.

Moral of the story: good read performance, but not the absolutely best available.

Once overclocked, the results are decent, and it manages to beat the stock X2 5000+, the FX-60, D 930 and Opteron 170 - however the stock FX-62 beats it, as does the overclocked Opteron 170 / X2 5000+ / FX-62.
