In a press release, available here, AMD has announced that it will support more SYSmark 2012, a benchmarking tool that measures the performance of the system drawn up by the consortium BAPCo (Business Applications Performance Corporation). Home Sunnyvale the yardstick of this benckmark is not reliable and does not respect the performance of new systems with real-world applications.
AMD has decided to withdraw from the consortium BAPCo and apparently this move was followed by Via and Nvidia. BAPCo Recall that counts among its members major companies such as Dell, HP, Hitachi, Lenovo, Microsoft, Samsung, Seagate, Sony and Toshiba, but Intel is definitely the main supporter.
It 'just the tip of Intel and AMD finger indirectly criticizing the dominant position in the choice of tests that help the architecture of the chip-maker in Mountain View and not giving space, for example, the interesting performance of the APU iGPU present in the family Fusion. Alternatively, AMD is considering a new consortium to support the creation of a benchmark in the open position to measure the actual performance of a system.
