Maybe we should start a list of rumors believed to be facts by the AMD crowd.

#1 Intel threatens customers who consider AMD products.

#2 Intel's compilers are designed only to produce good SPEC scores.

Somebody help me out here. I know there are plenty more...


#3 The Pentium 4 was designed to reach high clock rates at the expense
of absolute performance.

#4 The McKinley was entirely designed by HP (which is why is so improved)

#5 The geniuses left the Alpha design team for AMD in 1997 or earlier,
leaving only morons behind.

#6 Intel compilers deliberately generate code calculated to run slow on AMD uPs.

#7 FP intensive code optimized for P4 depends entirely on SSE2 and the Hammer
will see similar speedup.
