AMD promises honest Barcelona benchmarks Chipmaker scrambles to pull outdated benchmark data The inaccurate information made AMD the subject of ridicule, especially because the company earlier this year denounced Intel for publishing skewed benchmark results. The AMD web page doesn't list a publication date, but AMD spokesperson Phil Hughes said the information was posted early this year and that it was accurate at the time of posting. "We are working to remove that stuff from our website now. It isn't an accurate reflection of the highest performance [processors]," Hughes acknowledged to vnunet.com. ...AMD's Hughes promised that the company would post performance benchmark data for its 2.0GHz chips "in the coming weeks", at which time it would also use the most recent benchmarks on Intel's chips. vnunet.com We should all hail the fantastic job George Ou did to publicize these inaccurate benchmarks and get AMD to admit that fact and pledge to remove them in favor of accurate benchmarks. ;)
