I would say you're right but this wouldn't be the first time they've fudged official statements, all the big tech companies seems to do it, however why they keep doing it despite it hurting their reputations eludes me.

Hmm. Yeah, it seems that they think they can get away with it time and time again. After all, if we're fed up with thi shenanigans of the very few tech giants and want to stop buying their shit, we're out of luck finding anyone else.

Whats that suppose to mean? Okay you can buy them and resell them later? Because thats exactly what some users on this topic have been claiming and i wanted to know if that was not a misunderstanded joke.

Anybody can buy stock in any publicly traded company

It means yeah you can. What else.

Within reason anyone can buy stocks of a publicly traded company.

If you bought AMD's shares at the beginning of the year you'd make a profit of 330% if you sold them now. It can be very lucrative.

Well, for the U.S., yeah there're hundreds of thousands, well, actually millions of Americans who buy and sell stocks, many through call orders to brokers, and many just online through management of investment accounts.  I do the latter.  Though I have gone in to my investment bank and personally done it a handful of times when without internet as I don't trust mobile websites.

Rode that thing all the way from about 2$ on a purely technical trade.

A tad below 2$ lies what looked like support all the way back to october 1990, so i figured do or die last year when it tested that range again

 

Sold half at a profit, keeping the rest home free hoping AMD is making a serious comeback

Actually, the biggest rise is due to their licensing of x86 tech to China. 

Oh yeah right, I read the tittle wrong, mb.

Because I specialize in measuring performance and designing programs to extract as much performance out of given hardware as possible. 

 

Further, http://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf

 

Pay particular attention to the fact many of the SISD instructions since Core/Nehalem were sitting at 1-2 cycles, and from the perspective of bitwise algorithms, they cannot go any faster. Now, observe Haswell onward wrt AVX/2 and FMA. Now realize Blender is incredibly cache-sensitive, and Intel distinctly has the cache advantage.

 

I suspect one of a few possibilities:

 

1) AMD used an Intel platform with modified cache clock speeds

 

2) AMD used an Intel platform with fewer RAM channels used or with very loose timings and low clocks vs. its own.

 

3) AMD used an image which conveniently fit into just the L2 caches of its chip (which are twice as big as Intel's, and thus necessarily slower which you can verify by looking up the rules of cache search algorithms), meaning the results will not reflect most real-world use cases

 

4) AMD used a self-optimized version of blender (it is open-source, so getting a custom-spun version for the test is trivial) for its own platform but used the vanilla for Intel.

 

And there may be possibilities beyond this, but I know Blender's code, and there's no way in Hell this is legitimate.

It always amazes me you think they make such foolish tricks to get the benchmark they wanted, that would clearly be deemed illegal if it got any public light.

Something much simpler and legal is simply pick the application where your products gives off the best impression.,

 

Btw how did it go proving AMD cheated when they showed off polaris 11 power efficiency?

It was proven wrong.

Could you perhaps lead me to where its was proven?
