Milo, I know. It also has CPUMark32, Norton SI-32, and the Intel Media Benchmark, all weighted to Intel's best advantage, to be sure.

But your point was to prove that previous Intel generations had an IPC advantage over previous ones. I hope you realize that by using an obviously biased benchmark such as this one, that it would be terribly hard for you to argue the validity of similar benchmarks in the future.

But let me be more specific. Others on this thread like to argue about the validity of certain benchmarks... SPEC, Quake III, and SysMark 2001, mostly, because they happen to favor the Intel platform. I'm not here to offer any comment on these today, but if you are going to use iCOMP for proof in your argument, I hope that you don't participate in benchmark bashing in the future, and still pretend not to be hypocritical.

Milo,

iComp has SPEC in it or didn't you read the fine print?

It is interesting that the iComp benchmarks are still on Intel web site. Wasn't there some kind of class action law suit about Intel inflating the scores by something like using other upgraded peripherals. My recollection is not clear, but Intel ended up pulling iComp from all their promotional literature.

Joe
