Fyo, regardless, anybody who looks twice at AMD's presentation will realize that they are being terribly inconsistent in their scores. Why have two versions of the same application in your test suite, when they should just use the most recent one? People tend to upgrade their software, not downgrade. If the most recent version doesn't show their product favorably, then they should find another benchmark. There should be enough available if the Athlon really has a performance advantage. Their current slides only send confusing messages, when the point of marketing is to give clear, consistent messages. As usual, AMD demonstrates their marketing incompetence by not even bothering to proof-read their own slides to make their message stronger. wanna_bmw
