Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

Mas:

Intel and Randall Kennedy are not exactly the best of friends. I believe his original benchmarking suite was designed for intel/HT technology. Then Intel decided that it didn't want to use it and Randall Kennedy posted dual athlon results that were quite strong. In fact, he started posting on various forums and the AMD fan boy community embraced his benchmark as a true measure of performance. In fact with the VAN SMITH Sysmark witch hunt, more than a few sites started using this suite. Of course interest faded and noone uses the benchmark suite anymore. AMD even supports sysmark 2004 though many here would claim it is intel biased:)

But in Pete's zeal to paint this guy as bought and paid for by intel he failed to see in of the ads that AMD is also a company that Randall has worked for...

I find this whole line of reasoning rather amusing knowing the actual facts.
