Official AMD Barcelona Thread

[Epsilon84]

I don't see what's wrong with the data. It seems very accurate to me. Turion X2 and Core 1 Duo (not Core 2 Duo) are pretty much comparable, and that is a slide showing performance with INTEGRATED GRAPHICS. AMD has been traditionally strong in this area. Again, I don't see what problem is.

This seems much better than Intel running heavily cherry-picked CPU samples for their shows. At least the AMD demos have been representative of the current processor health.

And you're saying AMD doesn't cherrypick the data to suit itself?!

Let's see, hmmm, Turion vs Core Duo... yeah... current gen vs previous gen.... under 'competitive comparison'. Maybe Intel should compare C2Ds to Athlon XPs? That would be hilarious.

And your 2nd point about integrated graphics is exactly right, why is 'competitive comparison' regarding PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE fudged to become INTEGRATED GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE?! To the average joe, this is clearly misleading. Furthermore, they crippled Intel with a crappy chipset.

Your post typifies the double standard in the industry. Anything AMD says is taken as gospel (though people are starting to become wary), they can even dupe analysts 2 weeks in advance of shocking quarterly earnings without anyone doubting them.
