Source: Slashdot Technology Story | Intel Caught Cheating In 3DMark Benchmark

"3DMark Vantage developer Futuremark has clear guidelines for what sort of driver optimizations are permitted with its graphics benchmark. Intel's current Windows 7 drivers appear to be in direct violation, offloading the graphics workload onto the CPU to artificially inflate scores for the company's integrated graphics chipsets. The Tech Report lays out the evidence, along with Intel's response, and illustrates that 3DMark scores don't necessarily track with game performance, anyway."

Shame, all i can say lmao.

for me :

mobo with intel chipset + intel proc =



mobo with nvidia chipset + intel proc =

[ieaiaio]

ngano mucheat pa man ni sila oi nga wala na mai dag-anan ang underdog nila wakekeke

[isyot_daut]

y gamit ng benchmark oi...hehehe

y gamit ng benchmark oi...hehehe

hahaha na mao real world programs mas mo matter gyud

d bitaw ta tig gamit og 3dmark everyday nyahahahaha

[istorya_19]

high benchmark scores = bragging rights.hehe

[limes]

basig sinuholan ra sad ning mga nag himo sa 3dmark na mo perform ug better sa mga specific na mga processors and gpus, we never know whats the truth

[thermaltake]

lol y does intel cheat...lol..shame rofl...

[COMCAM]

lame shame, at least they were caught

[poldopunk]

para sa ako no, dili siya cheating kung ang purpose dili for benchmarking purposes. kung ilahang aim is to improve the experience because they know that the IGP is insufficient, then, i like the approach pero if this was made to fool us that their IGPs are scoring higher, then its cheating pero knowing how crappy their IGPs are, the aim is not to cheat but to improve performance.
