Dear John:

Since AMD is pushing TPI with Quantispeed as a transition to it, your complaints have no merit. Why aren't you blasting Intel with their iCOMP which does the same thing? It changes over time and is thus, even more arbitrary than the basis for Quantispeed. You just don't like that P4 loses a deceptive advantage.

What the marketplace needs is a benchmark whose creation is truly independent of OEMs, is free to the public so that any claim maybe verified easily and any public advertising is controlled to verified results by third parties. The first keeps things like what happens with Sysmark from happening where the applications chosen are biased towards one OEM's newer products. The second makes things like JC's databases of system benchmarks able to be viewed by the public and done for no cost to the user to his machine unlike SPEC and many other benchmarks. The third is a possible way to pay for independence of an organization that monitors for "hanky panky" and verifies that the benchmark results are valid and repeatable. It also must pay for a peer review of the benchmarks created and thus show that the selection of a particular program or method is justifiable to the goal of showing performance of real machines for real application workloads in real environments commonly found in typical target customers. This keeps out the use of a little used program that very few people use over one that is commonly used and the way they use it (WME selection and usage in CC for example).

This is how true standards like the measure of HP are done. There are very few benchmarks that come close to it.
