wanna, the point is more along the lines of what INTC claims to be true vs reality. So if your saying INTC is lying I won't argue with you. As to bashing Benchmarks that are not real apps, he11 ya I reserve the right to bash them. I only respect benchmarks that use programs that people use. i.e. UnReal Tournament, Quake 3. Q3 favors INTC's SSE2 Unreal favors AMD's superior FPU M.

Wanna-bmw Re..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.<<<<<<<< Surely you are smart enough to know that Milo was comparing one Intel platform to another Intel platform, where the benchmarks can be accurate, because the benchmark was optimized for both intel platforms; as opposed to benchmarks optimized for the Intel platform, and not the AMD platform, or vice versa.
