Re: Name one standard CD-ROM that has 800MB on it. Looks like AMD investors are rabid tonight! I pulled 800MB as a figure out of the air to show as a possible scenario where encoding would take substantially longer than it would with the 304MB wav file Anandtech used as an example. I could have used 655MB. I could have used 1GB (you know, like MORE than 1 CD worth of songs. Most people have more than 1 CD in their music collection). The figure was arbitrary. Go ahead an babble on about how relevant some Tom's Hardware Guide test with Unreal Tournament 2004 is some sort of strong evidence that Intel cheated on the tests. It was quite amusing considering Tom's uses their own custom test and wouldn't be directly comparable to other review sites or the Intel benchmarks.
