Ali, <blatant statements that it reflects "typical PC usage"> I wonder what AMD considered "typical PC usage," given that their model numbers are based on no clear standard. Their TPI would have been the solution to the problem, but it's been over a year since its formation and still nothing. I've always maintained that TPI is a fraud by AMD to pretend that they do care about "real system performance." Of course, it all depends on what your definition of "fraud" is. ;-) Tenchusatsu

Alice - Re:"You must be missing the point" AMD whines and pounds the table about the selection of a few tasks for Sysmark 2002 that favor the P4 instead of a few tasks that AMD says favor the AthWipe. Certainly, AMD wants the benchmark tilted in favor of the AthWipe, whether or not the tilt in the AthWipe's favor represents "typical usage". How much does this task selection effect the benchmark score? AMD does not say. The 'Droids do not say? Is it 1/2 of 1 percent? More than that? Or less? Why don't you give us the answer Alice. I am sure that your screwdriver knows.
