Ya know, Danster, in court, the jury can be instructed that if they catch the defendant in one lie, they can permissibly disregard ALL the person says. As far as I understand, only from what I read in the papers, the class action suit, has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BAPCO RANTINGS. And of course, if the facts are as you paint them, it is arguable that they person who most likely be harmed and therefore what we in the trade call, "the plaintiff" would be AMD. Has it ever occurred to you why AMD has not filed such a suit??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? :)

"The organization that provides these performance ratings is the Business Applications Performance Corporation, which was founded in 1995 by Intel," I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you to learn that a company founded by intel and dedicated to determining what runs best upon the processors that constitute 80% of the market has determined that some things run better on intel processors.* Inspector Renault, arrest the usual suspects!! One of the elements of "fraud" both civil and criminal is reliance, and furthermore that "reliance" has to be "justifiable". A plaintiff who is unsophicsticated would have a hard time establishing that it was the Bapco benchmarks that made him buy intel. It's usually not posted on the wall at Toys R Us. And, a sophisticated buyer, such as yourself, either will ignore bapco or consider its opinions in conjunction with the 50 or so other sources. Nezz Friggin' Paw? *It is not contemplated by the parameters of this post to analyze whether it was BAPCO's main objective to determine what was the most commonly used combinations of hardware and software. That will be left for the Memorandum of Points and Authorities attached to the Motion For Summary Judgment.

Dan, Intel IS benchmarks. eetimes.com Completion of the IPv4 benchmark took longer than expected, but that's because it was the NPF's first effort, said Raj Yavatkar, a chief software architect with the network processing group of Intel Corp. and a board member of the NPF (Fremont, Calif.) "At the same time, we had to also work out the whole process [for approving benchmarks]," he said. I thought Intel was getting out of the networking business? Guess not. Steve
