> I believe JC is also of this view that he is fair. I believe that Anand tries his best to be fair. Perhaps he could be influenced, but he'd never be one to be bought. Now, Tom's ... theirs is an interesting one. I get the very bizarre impression that the guy who chooses the benchmarks is strongly biased towards Intel, and the guy who writes the conclusions is strongly biased towards AMD. Bizarre, no? -JC PS: I think Anand was honest about SPEC. I think that he made a solid decision to include it into his benchmark tests, but I think he stopped using it because he found out that it's a real bitch to actually use, and because many, many people complained that he was only using it because he was pro-Intel, so he just got pissed off and stopped. Anand is one of those guys who can't win, no matter what he does (actually, if he acted exactly like Johan De Gelas, he'd win, but that may be asking too much of most people).
