The Register Finds Fault In Turion Benchmark Setup
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."
Turion is faster than P-M, too. Except they "forgot" that Intel chip used integrated graphics.
Apparently you "forgot" to read. The gaming benchmark PDF clearly shows in the bottom right hand corner that the 915GME chipset (integrated graphics chipset) was used for the Intel system. And you have wrongly assumed that the AMD system was using something other than integrated graphics. If you happened to read this link in the article that the Turion system using ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset with integrated graphics. Yes, the only "suckage" here is Intel Extreme Graphics gaming performance. Looks like those "AMD fanbois" are on to something. Perhaps you should listen more and post less.
I hope that P4 of your's burns your sensitive bits whilst you hug it.
