AMD: SYSmark, stop looking so closely at our flabby little CPUs

In SYSmark, Salinas claims “there is an excessive[ly] high amount of CPU tasking being done – that is, that the benchmark is only evaluating the CPU side of the system.

IOW, our CPUs are so weak it is unfair not to dilute compute performance
with other factors like graphics and memory bandwidth.

If AMD is calling out their tired old wambulance yet again at this time it is
hardly inspiring confidence about upcoming Zen core's oomph.

BTW, AMD releases financial results after close today. Look for another big
decline in compute revenues caught in double whammy between dropping
PC sales and probable share gain by Intel.
