Re: Tom developed his own UT2004 benchmark because some graphics card manufacturers were caught cheating on the standard benchmarks. He developed it before either FX-60 or (for sure!) Conroe existed, so how could it be biased?

I'm not attacking the THG demo credibility, I'm attacking Rahul's credibility for implying it is valid to compare the THG demo to whatever demo was on the Intel system. It's not a matter of bias or the THG demo being "wrong". Most likely the performance difference is between the two UT2K4 demos are not the same. You can make UT2K4 slow to a crawl or run quite fast depending on what maps, environments, effects, or numbers of characters and objects you want to include in a custom timedemo. If the Conroe was tested with the THG demo it might well run at 250-300MHz.
