Re: "To say that Intel put a little pressure on Hardware Unlimited would be to understate the case" To say that would be A COMPLETE FABRICATION - A LIE - and just plain AMD B.S. Here's what the fellow wrote - who admitted he made a COMPLETE SCREW-UP in falsely asserting that the Pentium 4 went into some bogus throttling mode. He publicly and privately apologized to Intel for HIS SCREW UP. aceshardware.com So Much for the P-4 Throttling FUD (LINK) Posted By Bosco on Sat, Jun 09, 2001 12:20:46 AM EST Next in Thread "Most of you may remember the article published by InQuest a few weeks ago that supposedly shows that the P4 has heat problems and it can clock throttle under heavy load. Not only was their study utterly confusing, badly documented and lacked any scientific methodology or analysis but one of the points they used to key their offensive was that "www.hardware-unlimited.com" independently discovered the same clock throttling (they had surprisingly low scores on Quake3 and the P4). Here is piece: inqst.com Well, guess what? hardware-unlimited.com announced that they made a mistake and the erroneous and surprisingly low Quake benchmarks was a mix-up! Here is their announcement: "I would like to apologize to Intel on behalf of our throttling issue dealing with the Pentium 4 1.7Ghz. We thought we uncovered throttling in our original review, however we were testing the GeForce 3 simultaneously and the numbers were mixed up on accident, which made the Pentium 4 1.7Ghz look like it was throttling. We have resolved the issue with Intel, corrected our review, and reformulated the graphs. I would like to personally apologize to George Alfs about the issue, who has helped us work it out and has been very helpful, kind, and understanding. This is a terrible mistake on our part and I am extremely sorry if this caused any suspicion or confusion among our readers. We were not trying to steer you into the wrong direction or mislead you about Intel in any sense." hardware-unlimited.com Linked URL: P-4 "throttling" apology
