Wonder why the guys at the OEMs claimed Intel to be faster during the Athlon - Athlon 64 eras.
Well, I find it actually funny - about 10 years ago when AMD had faster processors and BARCo was biased toward Intel, AMD decided to join BARCo in order to correct BARCo's behavior. Since then no one have been complaining about Sysmark2007 (as I remember changing CPUID affected PCMark05 and not Sysmark). Now I wonder what was the AMD's reason to leave BARCo (if it indeed true). I guess every chip firm will only love benchmark where its product has superiority.
BTW, here is an interesting article about changing CPUID.
