Pat, Re: Van's Hardware has their article on Bapco SysMark up here Interesting to see that what many here suspected for some time is actually true: Intel is guilty of benchmark fraud. While the fact itself is IMO a scandal there's virtually nothing that can be done about it. I don't think it's illegal to chose biased benchmark subroutines even if you are an "independent" benchmark developer. So what conclusion should be drawn from it? Just don't use benchmark suites any more. They are always artificial and can be easily manipulated. A much better way (although somewhat more time-consuming) is to use actual applications. It's also more helpful for the user: If he uses a certain application he knows exactly what improvements he can expect. Since Anand, Tom etc. already benchmark a lot of different games they should just add more "real-life" applications and can the benchmark suites completely. Andreas
