A couple of letters from the Inquirer that may prove mildly amusing: Letter One – Sauce for the Goose Dear Mr. Magee First off, ... ...I read with interest your story on AMD's complaints with regard to Sysmark 2002, and followed the link to AMD's internal presentation. I was unconvinced by AMD's complaints. Intel could use their same logic to claim that the earlier benchmark (Sysmark 2001) was systematically biased in favor of the Athlon by focusing on tasks which the Athlon does well. It seems to me that AMD is crying mainly because the rules are no longer tilted in AMD's favor. Why should we take this self-interested whining seriously? As the dominant microprocessor supplier, Intel defines the industry. It is therefore appropriate that common benchmarks should be designed with reference to the most common technology platform. Is it really reasonable for AMD to ask that benchmarks should be designed for its convenience? To be the king, you must kill the king. If AMD really wants people to believe its claims to "industry leading performance," it should demonstrate a processor which can beat Intel at the things Intel does best.

Hey, Van Sh*thead has his phony COSBI benchmarks that select AMD-only tests that favour AMD. Why don't you write an expose on this? Paul R. Engel Email address supplied
