Give it up... You can't win.

The false graciousness afforded to anyone who complemented the Anand scores is quickly shed the moment any aspect of those figures are questioned, and it's back to the usual tooth 'n nail defense.

For they now have the solitary, unreproducable data point they need.

Every chink in the Conroe Armor, no matter how trivial, will now be defended to the death. No matter how ridiculous the argument sounds.

Simply put, to question the Anand results is to open the floodgates of hell.

Butt he answer is simple: Wait. The 40% delta in this data point will be made up, easily. Say:

10% underrepresented AMD performance in Anand "test"
10% overrepresented Intel performance in Anand "test"
10+% frequency increase between now and Conroe's debut
10% performance increase from 100% bandwidth increase
10% performance increase from 4MB L3
10% multi-socket benefit from faster HTT
?% IPC increase from Rev F

Wildcards:

Quad-core
cHTT licencees
New process
Volume increase
Lawsuit

Yes, it will be a less one-sided fight, but AMD is definitely still in the game, bigtime.

And if I see one more idiot talking about Intel holding the performance crown in the present tense, I swear to God I'll...

I'll...

I'll write another message or something...
