"The organization that provides these performance ratings is the Business Applications Performance Corporation, which was founded in 1995 by Intel,"

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you to learn that a company founded by intel and dedicated to determining what runs best upon the processors that constitute 80% of the market has determined that some things run better on intel processors.*

Inspector Renault, arrest the usual suspects!!

One of the elements of "fraud" both civil and criminal is reliance, and furthermore that "reliance" has to be "justifiable".

A plaintiff who is unsophicsticated would have a hard time establishing that it was the Bapco benchmarks that made him buy intel. It's usually not posted on the wall at Toys R Us.

And, a sophisticated buyer, such as yourself, either will ignore bapco or consider its opinions in conjunction with the 50 or so other sources.

Nezz Friggin' Paw?

*It is not contemplated by the parameters of this post to analyze whether it was BAPCO's main objective to determine what was the most commonly used combinations of hardware and software. That will be left for the Memorandum of Points and Authorities attached to the Motion For Summary Judgment.
