Re: Intel gets caught cheating, Enron style, on benchmarks So you continue to think that Intel's Bapco produces meaningful benchmarks. Bapco searched until they found a program that had an error which made Intel chips look good and AMD chips look bad. Then they created a suite of tests which consisted of cheater program and cheater program plus program A, cheater program plus program B, etc. That was Sysmark 2001, where, at least, we know what programs were being run. After being caught cheating to make Intel look good, for Sysmark 2002 Bapco stopped releasing detailed information on what programs were running in its test suites - even Enron was more honest than that, and stopped cheating after they were caught. Intel/Bapco kicked out the auditors, instead.
