AMD quits benchmark group, implying benchmarks are Intel biased!; nVidia quits too

Re: AMD quits benchmark group, implying that benchmarks are Intel biased!; nVidia qui

Intel had made compilers which were good , so everybody was using it but the problem is intel coded it to degrade performance on purpose whenever it detected an amd cpu!

Isn't this an old myth debunked long ago? The same was with tessellation and fermi when amd released 58xx series, when fermi toppled the tess benchmarks amd said they were using too much tess etc.

PS: Before Core 2 architecture amd was kicking intel's @$$ very much(loved those days), why couldn't they release good compilers back then? I don't believe this at all.

I think it is fair on AMD's part to walk off. Why support a synthetic architecture which is against the grain of their design, and then be shown as a looser.

While I agree synthetic benchmarks do not hold in real life but in cpu world they match apps very much, not so in GPU(3d mark? bah, never proved anything). Plus look at the resent comparison between amd and intel(sandy/nehalem vs phenom), intel dominates every single benchmark, including the non synthetics.

In 3d mark nvidia loses to amd but in games they push ahead, so synthetic benchmarks are questionable for 3d cards, but in cpu world they scale as in proper apps.

3D mark is like 2 generations old...! Vantage 2010 and '11 have come out. 3D mark was famous for being CPU bound when touted as a GPU synthetic...!

Now what..!

Still amd wins in both cases(comparable cards like say 560 and 6950 2GB), but in games they are very close and in some cases they nvidia triumphs amd.

Point is, Intel makes better chips? Yes, everyone knows this. But rigged synthetic benchmarks exaggerate the difference.

I can live with that, but people claiming amd is faster and lose ONLY due to compilers is a blatant lie.

No one has claimed that. They are just talking about Intel's track record.
