Tom's Hardware in AMD's Pocket

urk.

That kind of ignores the higher cost motherboard, RAM, and cooling needed to do it. Even worse is that they put overclocked Intel processors in their price/performance tables against stock AMD processors.

That's only because they're so biased toward AMD.:Q

The only thing Tom is a fanboy of is misguided information! Long live fanboys!

Looks to me Intel is beating AMD in alot of those benchmark pages.

Looks to me like some one in this thread has some Intel stock in his pocket 😛

As an writer you generally give the "good news" first in any article reguardless of the topic.

That isn't an article about AMD... or Intel. It's a chart of relative performances of common CPUs. I find it strange that they choose about the only test where an AMD chip comes out top to display by default. It's not even as if it's the first test in the list.

I have never thought THG was biased towards Intel, at least not in recent years. AMD have been courting them and allowing them into their research labs etc., and no doubt giving them lots of nice goodies and treatment. Their bias is most obvious in their "AMD/Intel Shoot-Outs" where their conclusions often completely contradict their own test results.

I don't see any links in this thread.

That's because this is the only link anyone would need: Tom's homepage, to find out what we're discussing.
