While I was under no dissolution that anyone with reasonable PhotoShop skills could fake a benchmark, I had heard whispers of a program that would allow you to effectively select any benchmark you wanted. The program in question was designed for a game called "Half Life"; however, it greatly effects overall Windows performance. Now the question is "Does this program exist and does it work?".

When I saw the title, I thought "finally proof of AMD or Intel faking benches." Boy was I wrong.

You have pretty high expectations of sock puppets.

I will always give them the chance to change.

You thought wrong. Im pretty sure 3D Mark 01 is no longer used for benchmarks.

Maybe that article would have been interesting in 2001, when the 3Dmark01 was being used, but what revelence is it today? Easier to assume that all companies try their best to fudge the nembers in their favor. Its called PR, propaganda, and worse. That's why independent testing, whether its by Tom's Hardware,, Anandtech, or whoever is better than what a company claims. That's why I don't believe all the hype about Conroe. When its actually out and being tested in the real world, then I'll pay more attention. Same with VISTA, for that matter.

*golf clap*

Wow, the first article dates back ~5 years, the 2nd is 18 months old, lemme guess, you just got electricity or what ?

Of course, benchmarks can be cheated but that's no breaking news...

Who said I don't have proof? 8)

 

[Action_Man]

When you make claims its a good idea to you know, maybe back them up with something.

Why do that? Opinion is more useful than facts. We all know that!!!!!!

Sailer, here is a test of the conroe from anandtech, http://anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2716&p=3,

I just realised that maybe "Benchmark faking" is when your G/F says "YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! It really is 9 inches!" and she's just having you on because it's only 9mm :?:

 

[Heyyou27]

What was his PleasureMark score? :lol:

Here's a real benchmark that was submitted by a member of tomshardware.

Girlfriends were invented to waste money that you could have used on your PC. All those in love are technically addicted to the endorphines released by their body in the presence of this human. So DAMMIT YOU DRUGGIES! BUY A BETTER PC AND DROP THAT HOE.

wow i hope u did smell the sarcasim in the mans post....cuz i know i sure did

and just for another note everyone cares about a Pentium I, if u wrap it in tinfoil and put it in the bathtub full of water u can o/c to 1.5ghz.......the Ghost of Richard Nixion told me
