Ah, but I can becuase I have info you do not, and also I have garnered results worldwide from AMD cpus, as have others, that led to this conclusion. I HAVE that tidbit that elludes you...you also forget that Macci works @ AMD, and at one point, was very helpful to all of us when it came to searching for cpus...because in the end, AMD does not test every chip to thier max, but are VERY interested in the results.

I'll share a site with you that used to keep really good results, that may help you with the correlation.

There used to be a time when if I posted an issue with hardware or something, I'd get a pm from a company rep asking what they could do to solve the problem...Don't forget Francis being on here as well...


That customer interaction fell off when companies started to do good, and AMD bought ATI...the tech world changed then...but it's those companies that make a grassroots effort with us in these hard times, that will excel.
