While cruising SlashDot today, I came across a disturbing article entitled "AMD posts blatantly deceptive benchmarks on Barcelona".  The first time I started to read it, I was honestly upset.  I have been an AMD fan for a long time, and it honestly saddened me to see a good company like this sink to that level.  The more I read, the more disturbed I became.  I finished the article wondering if I really should wait for the Barcelona to build my next computer (I've been planning on a dual-quad core rig for the past few months), or if it's not really worth it.  But then I realized something...

       While looking through the comments of the post, I realized something.  Not only was the author wrong about a few points, his entire article was biased and full of mud slinging.  He makes you believe that AMD is blatantly trying to skew its numbers to look better because it can't perform without cheating.  But the actuality of it, is the numbers he quotes as being 4 months old, are ACTUALLY 4 months old (as opposed to AMD trying to pick the best numbers).  This guy's article is full of holes.  What he is good at however, is sounding authentic.
