Re: "Elmer, the point is, why would we on the AMD board care about Intel compilers made for Intel chips run on Intel computers. This is wonderful information for a Intel board. What has it got to do with AMD." First off, I am an AMD investor and I think it is import to understand AMD's competitive position. Re: "What confirmation do we have for any of these scores. None. " You have 4 companies essentially confirming the scores. Are you suggesting a 4-way conspiracy to falsify SPEC scores? Compare that to AMD's phoney CuMine scores on AMD's website. No one on earth has been able to reproduce those scores because AMD refuses to publish the compiler switches they used to produce the poor CuMine scores. Disingenuous at best. If you are willing to raise doubt on the results 4 industry leading companies published to an industry respected organization, why haven't you raised this question about AMD's potential cheating? I assume it is because you are biased and approve of misrepresenting the facts if it makes AMD look good and Intel bad. Am I wrong? Re: "As far as "is Intel obligated to supply AMD with a compiler to make AMD look good." How could that possibly happen unless Athlon really does beat PIII? Your question implies that AMD will look good by comparison. If PIII is as good as you say what are you worried about. Chicken to compare eh Elmer?" You are really getting carried away here. Athlon will look good because it is good. I said "look good" not "look better". There is a difference. As for being "chicken", do you really think all this is under my control? EP
