The Register Finds Fault In Turion Benchmark Setup

Posted by timothy on from the never-promised-not-to-blow-my-nose-on-you dept.

An anonymous reader submits "From The Register, it appears that AMD has joined Intel, ATI, nVidia, and just about every other hardware manufacturer on the planet in benchmark fiddling. The benchmarks for the Turion appear to have been compared using quite different systems - a 35 watt Turion 64 with an ATI GPU versus a 25 watt Pentium M with an Intel integrated graphics processor. Sadly, it appears the original benchmarks were too good to be true."

    Soon we will have benchmark woodwinds, benchmark flutes, and worst of all benchmark trumpets. Off course it will come together as all that benchmark jazz. . .

    Oddly, the register article reads like an opinion piece

    That's because it's a online tabloid. :-)
