Fyo, < reason of why people want faster computers.> I am not sure they really want. Most people cannot directly compare computers because they do not have the variety of equipment to compare side-by-side. The difference of 10-15-20% in performance is almost impossible to discern without accurate measurements. Therefore people have to rely on other sources: marketing "professionals", Internet dilettantes, computer magazines. The main reason is to make up their minds on what to buy. I guess my point is that having better benchmark scores would definitely help AMD in sales.
