AMD, VIA and Nvidia Quit BAPCO over Sysmark 2012

Oh god I loled at that... I think whoever wrote that whould do a reality check... its exactly like that already.

Regardless where you live in this world and what the code is called (NEDC, 10/15-Mode, FTP75), they are all faaaar of reality. The diffence is only that tihs regulations are done by goverments... so calling for the FTC wont change one step in that regard...

Also its quite funny to look at that statement and what amd is now suggesting to get there "AMD AllDay™ Power" (which is 8h+ at idle, which also doesn't refelct rl at all).

Are you suggesting they should offer "real numbers" while the competitor is promoting their idle work time? Talk about a marketing suicide.

It goes for the whole industry or no one.

Its not about the all day thing only beeing 8h (or more), but the thing that it is measured in idle state.... they claim Mobile Mark is a useless benchmark tool not refecting realworld and then they suggested this as a metric?
Come on srsly you can't defend that...
