Intel, PC Makers Sued Over Processor Performance
Intel, PC Makers Sued Over P4 Performance. And I asked myself why Intel changed the name of P4 family to Core duo? Well, until I red that in archive article above.
A small group of PC owners has quietly filed a class action lawsuit against Intel, Gateway, and Hewlett-Packard alleging the companies misled them into believing the Pentium 4 was a superior processor to Intel's own Pentium III and AMD's Athlon.
However, situation with performance widely change. Core Duo has excelent benchmarks.
Even if *real* benchmarking comes back to our daily papers, remember the old saying: "There are lies, lies, and benchmarks."
Lets check the claim. Anand proudly founds:
"Intel's Core 2 Extreme X6800 didn't lose a single benchmark in our comparison; not a single one."
Congrats. Conroe is simply unbeatable. But the question is against whom?
P$4 perhaps?
