Intel Cheating

[ahock]

Haven't seen the presentation but honestly been also to AMD website lately and I can say theirs are also somewhat questionable

Didn't it have to do with:

a) Intel using some older benchmarks (primarily SPECint/SPECfp 2000). Of course, AMD used the same 2000 suite for its November presentation of Barcelona and
b) Intel not always comparing to the latest AMD hardware, to which Intel claims its only using the latest published AMD results

Then you also have AMD playing games like here:

of using a number of games test while only using integrated graphics to put the AMD CPUs in a better light

fortunately Intel can payoff vendors like Dell not to sell any AMD systems until recently.

Intel cheats. I like AMD, but lately Intel is winning bang for buck. They are spending their warchest.

What are you talking about? What presentation?

Let's see here ...

For a while, AMD has a better CPU (albeit mainly in gaming performance) and everything is kosher.

Intel re-awakens and manages not only to bring out a (currently) superior processor, but also to increase their already-sizeable technological lead/advantage in transitioning to next-gen manufacturing process(es), and it's all down to them cheating ?

I'm shocked. :roll:

Andy Grove would have never done something like this ... :evil:

Uh-huh...that must explain the huge gains in the server sectors...they play a lot of games there!

Server buyers don't care about processers, they care about platforms. Convincing a potential enterprise customer to switch platforms is a very difficult thing to do, and that's exactly what was being attempted.
