Just curious why don't they post the real numbers. I won't
say it is not real but just find it interesting to release
benchmark this way.

It's not too surprising, actually. The Intel SPECmarks are obtained using an Intel compiler, and with everything tweaked just right. Hard for AMD to duplicate, and a complete waste of time to try.

So AMD does a quick-and-dirty SPEC compile using an off-the-shelf compiler, runs the same code on both CPUs, and gets a relative performance number.
