A quanto riporta Hardware Zone si stanno addensando forti sospetti su alcuni benchmark che sembrano essere stati "influenzati" da Intel :
Prestazioni del Pentium 4 fasulle?

Si, almeno stando a quanto riporta il sito EETimes:
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A PC benchmark program that claims to measure system performance more realistically than today's other tests has taken Intel Corp.'s Pentium 4 processor to task.
Among other things, Benchmark Studio 1.0 has indicated that Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Athlon processor significantly outperforms the Pentium 4 and that PCs with two relatively slow Pentium IIIs far surpass desktops with a single 1.5-GHz Pentium 4.
Randall C. Kennedy, who developed the Benchmark Studio while working almost exclusively for Intel, said other current benchmarks are skewed to favor the chip giant, with which he had an acrimonious falling out last year.
"Basically the benchmarks out there today say what Intel wants said about PC performance," he maintained.
Kennedy charged that existing benchmarks, including Winstone from Ziff Davis and those from the Business Applications Performance Corp. (BAPCo) are heavily influenced by Intel, something spokesmen from both groups denied.
An Intel spokesman would not comment on Kennedy's statements but defended the benchmarks in use today. "BAPCo and Ziff-Davis are the major industry-standard benchmarks and they are well-accepted in the industry," he said.
