If you haven't read yet, Tom is admitting he stuffed up with setting the Intel system up.
So grow up. The test wasn't conducted proper. Once the Intel was correctly going it didn't fail.
Here are the list of Thomas' stuff ups
-------------------------------------------
* Wrong fan. He received a BTX style fan and used it in a ATX case without proper air flow, specified in P4 instructions.
* Failed to use new Thermal Pad when they moved the fan around.
* They plugged the fan into the wrong socket on the motherboard and blow the boards up in time.
* Tom didn't reset the scores, when the Intel was finally setup per the instructions.
* The Intel 840EE won all test scores until the fan crashed the Intel system, which allowed AMD to catch upin the loop counts.
* Tom refused to increase the priority on the divx thread causing AMD X2 to lose that test section.
* All the loop counts on the tests were in error due to one system counting when another was down, due to Tom's poor system setup.
