Ali, From the Bapco site, I honestly don't know when the page was posted but.. Why did AMD allow itself to be in this position. I have not dug deep but it looks like the could have been a member, had input into the benchmarks and not be in this situation today. Time and time again I see great / poor ideas get shotdown or accepted in my job based on who the partner owners are that day and if they showed up at the meeting. It looks like AMD decided not to show up. Also look at the membership, do you think Ibm, COMPAQ, and Microsoft are puppets to Intel and would approve anything Intel wanted? bapco.com If you would like BAPCo membership information, please call: (408) 988-7654 BAPCo Invites New Participants in Benchmarking Process BAPCo members set the course for objective personal computer benchmarking based on actual business applications.
