Who is the zealots, you don't even click on shintai link. So as you're too lazy.
AMD benchmark configuration information for such kind of comparison:

And again in the barcelona simulated comparison, if you take about 3s to read the footnote:
http://multicore.amd.com/GetFile.asp...trate_040207v2
you read:
"competitive benchmark results stated above reflect results published on www.spec.org as of april 16. 2007. The comparison presented above is based on the best performing blabla... "

Best performing... Nowhere best performing using this and that blabla, just best performing, they don't care of os or compiler, they only take the "best performing"

and what's supposed it means?

that AMD guy or guys who made that nonsense table or graph, is stupid?

I knew that, Big deal.

But I'm sorry, it doesn't change zdnet genious stupidity or Intel zealots stupidity embracing George Ou crap.
