T_M, Did you say that even cherry picked AMD wont be able to compete with retail intel in benches>?
Or did is misunderstand you?
Because as far as I can tell, AMD arent doing too bad, and are keeping up fairly well....
Either way, I dont think cherrry picked cpus should be used, everyone uses retail, then there is no favouritism, and its lucky og gthe draw if you get a better one,
But alteast it will be trying to equal the playing ground, I mean, theres no point having a comp if some teams have cherry picked, and others dont.
I mean, this is less and less like F1, :P
