ACCUSATIONS THAT Bapco SysMark 2002 is biased towards Intel's Pentium 4 chips and against AMD Athlon processors are flying around on the web like arrows at the Battle of Hastings.
A PDF from AMD hosted on Van's Hardware accuses Bapco of systematically favouring Intel processors over its own.
The opening barb came with an article by Dean Kent on the Ace's Hardware Forum, where he said there is "something funny" in differences between SysMark 2002 versus SysMark 2001.
Kent said there: "This information tends to lend a lot of credence that the tasks are being targeted to a type of resource usage that would benefit the P4 platform, as has been alleged here by more than one person".
