AMD Expresses its Displeasure Over Intel's PT Benchmarks for 9th Gen Core

[Nelly]

AMD gave its first major reaction to the Principled Technologies (PT) controversy, in which it came out strongly against the questionable methods PT employed, in its performance comparison between the Core i9-9900K and AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, in addition to certain other Ryzen Threadripper series products. In its response, AMD made its official position on controversy clear - it is not happy with PT.

AMD prepared a long list of flaws with PT's original testing, and the areas where it did not correct the mistakes in its second testing. The company also put out a list of its own "best practices" for comparative benchmarking, which prescribes "sanitizing the operating system," "sanitizing the platform" for stock vs. overclocked testing, "sanitizing the data," and to not create a vast disconnect between the test environment and the real-world.

Windows 10 is a nightmare for a testing environment - so many background tasks including stuff like the Malware protection engine, Installer modules, various media, etc. scanning processes and so on can and will jump in whenever they feel like it using completely random amounts of system resources and easily skew results unless you do multiples of multiples of testing spread out to get an average

At least with my little bit of review experience,if you do between 5 to 10 test runs,you can get a good idea if the results are representative or not.

Sadly a true representation was never Intel's aim

Neither was it PT's going off their testing methods...
