Laughable? I find it clever.

Given that AMD owns the high-end of the consumer desktop market, Intel arguably hurts AMD more than themselves by releasing Conroe benchmarks early and repeatedly. The only folks aware of this info when considering a current purchase will be enthusiasts, and virtually none of them would by Netburst tech. They might have bought AM2 tech this quarter into July, had Intel not made clear than Conroe is a K8-killer.

That doesn't *help* Intel in Q2, but it *hurts* AMD in Q2 (good PR for Intel), and *helps* Intel in Q3, when all that pent-up enthusiast desktop demand is there to absorb Conroe supply.

See?
