Technusatsu, Why? Benchmarking is about as subjective as the judging for Olympic figure skating. Should that come as a complete surprise to anyone in the industry? I can't believe you too are looking for excuses. Bapco is turning out to be the French figure skating judge of the last Olympics, and the same should happen to that organization what happened to the French judge. Which brings up an OT question: What happened to that French judge? Joe

Re: Benchmarking is about as subjective as the judging for Olympic figure skating LOL!!! Nice try. Athlon blows the doors off P4, Intel used outright, obvious, deliberate, fraud to attempt to mislead buyers, so suddenly performance "is in the eye of the beholder". Should we just all buy Via CPUs, since they're cheaper, use less power, and performance can't be measured?

Benchmarking is about as subjective as the judging for Olympic figure skating. Should that come as a complete surprise to anyone in the industry? The question is not whether or not you are surprised that such benchmark fixing occurs. You work for Intel. How could you possibly be surprised that such things go on? The question is whether or not it disturbs you. So, if it doesn't surprise you or disturb you....you really just don't care? Is that right .....choir boy??? What then do you care about in this industry? Let me ask you this. If you were the software engineer asked to concoct these benchmarks to favor Intel....would you do it?? From your response that it neither surprises or disturbs you, I conclude you would have no problems performing such a task. Is that right .....choir boy?? THE WATSONYOUTH
