Intel Funds AMD-bashing Report
Jim Norton writes "The Inqwell and ZDNet are reporting that the Aberdeen group, who recently published a report attacking the Athlon XP's processor rating system, was funded by Intel to produce the report. The articles also mention that AMD claims they were never contacted for information regarding this issue." From the benchmarks that various outfits have done on the new AMD chips, their model number is actually pretty conservative.
And in other news, business as usual continued yet again today. Analysts continue to be shocked.
NO CARRIER
But when you looked closley.. you noticed that Intel benchmarks the pentiums AGAINST THEMSELVES... the P4's on the bar chart were rated very high. Against the pIII.
(Spelling and grammar aside)
Pentium 4s are better than Pentium 3s?
Wow. I'd have never guessed that.
Thanks for opening my eyes, Intel.
Seems that the guys over at ID software have been the paying Gamespot to benchmark Quake and Unreal.
"It seems they have tained the pure nature of our business by funding this research into frag count. It is just, low down and dirty" said on game that refused to be identified. This is the latests in a long string of rumors about funding benchmarking test by game companies.
The issue at heart is frag count, the dismemberment of your pray or enemy in the 3d first person shooters. "Dude, just because that artical had some lame ass gimps playing the tester and he was able to blast some ass chunks all down the air duct does not mean that that aging Hexen is a better frag fest than Quake. I got some guys at work that can't strife, it is like taking candy from a baby." spat G-spotkilla from his cubical at a trendy NY base marketing company.
Probing for the female veiw I asked G-spotkilla's cube mate, code name HelloKitty her view on this whole thing "You know, G-spotkills is just a little gimp. He could not hit you with a sniper rifle at 30 feet let alone a g-spot!". Well it turns out she had not read the artical but she was hot, so I printed her concerns.
It seems no matter what people just don't believe the media anymore. G-spotkilla was last heard running down the hall screaming something about toenail polish and gravity problems that "Just don't work like that man!"

In my early-morning haze, that's how this headline reached my cortex. You can imagine how disappointed I am right now.
god is just pretend.
Just look at what they did for Cyrix!
Oh... erm... wait a minute...
If you could be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you could be told what to say or think - BoC
Well, if you're going to insult all the folks with AMD processors, you could at least spell "Athlon" right.
