Why AMD’s Bad Benchmarks Are BAD! Investigating The Lie.

super weird way AMD did it
both new CPUs are not intended to be gaming only (when 5700X3D and 5800X3D exist), not intended to compete with 13th gen.
Why compare at all? And then why compare with 6600? And then even more stupid, why invent a 12% difference in cyberpunk? The weird selection of titles is a cherry on top
the point of these models was to demonstrate super long support of AM4. Just by existing they accomplished it

They’re always dubious, be it AMD, Intel or nVidia. Should be largely ignored and just wait for independent reviews.

Problem is that with the size of the big companies (AMD $226 billion, Intel $132 billion, nVidia $3,110 billion) they are now so big that they can and do influence reviewers.

Obviously independent reviews are far better than PR marketing slides, just that nobody wants to offend these big companies so will largely stick to the "reviewer's guide" which is bad for consumers :(

I wouldn't mix largely worthless market value of a company with for example its revenue (or net income). Market share says nothing about the size and actual worth of the company and can change a lot even in just 1 day. And for example Intel is currently losing money (negative net income), Nvidia is indeed growing but revenue is a bit over $25 billion (not $3+ Trillion) and in the real size they are nowhere close to real giants like Microsoft. AMD also isn't doing stellar at the moment but they are growing and have positive net income.

Sure, but hyped market cap does go with my point of huge PR departments from huge corporations throwing their weight around and putting huge pressure on reviewers to follow their review "guides".

Also the near total silence on the instabilities wth Intel K CPUs - looks like nobody wants to be blacklisted by big corporate PR machines.

Intel has always had a shady business practices and still are being sued by various governmental organisations but fines are so minuscule it doesn't do anything to change things.
