I am struggling to understand why Toms Hardware declared the P4 EE top perfomance champ,. Did I miss something?

To elaborate: Tom lies, cheats and twists his benchmarks. You can't trust him. You simply can't.

I read 4 reviews before I read Tom's and I was surprised to read the conclusions. They use all these phantom P4 3.4, 3.6 EE that are not even available yet and their graphs are just confusing, you have to really read carefully all the fine print. I liked Anand and Ace, easy to read and well balanced.

Re: Re: Athlon64 FX Results
I will have to agree. I belive it also, even before I heard others saying it here.
I never liked or plan to like THG!!

Wow this thread has digressed enough I would say.
It's really easy to make blanket statements like the ones made here... But it is a much larger challenge to analyze and specifically state what you find to be the problem with the articles.
Tom's may not have much reliability, but it isn't very progressive sitting on the forums and just bashing THG.
If you want to follow this line of thinking, please do so while atleast appending a fragment of intelligence to your post... afterall, we aren't the [H] - we can actually properly support our ideas here.
It is enough to say that Tom's reliability is very questionable and he isn't very respected by enthusiasts anymore - we can leave the silly "fanboy" and "wierdo" comments to ot[H]er forums.

considering intel only released a 3.2 GHZ of the p4 EE i wonder why he has a 3.6 ghz one listed and benchmarked comparing to a A64

Great job bashing another site. For the record, i do think there are better spellers, more posters, more intelligent posters, and less nazism there.

Um, Yea.... I'll believe that when I see a thread over at [h] without the F word in it.
THG compared an overclocked P4 EE to a stock AMD64 FX chip. Of course it's going to do better with an overall 5% performance increase - they should've overclocked the AMD chip too and gotten results then. Even so the Athlon FX is still better than the P4EE at stock speeds. (got that from RELIABLE benchmarking sites)

So you think the amount of swear words is an appropriate indicator of the quality of content?L337 M33P said:
I wouldn't be surprised if you then think this forum is the greatest on the intarweb, simply by virtue of it having a word filter.
I'm sure some people also like the beeps and silent pauses in songs and movies broadcast on TV. Not me. No sir. Censoring = bad.
I think i'll change my name to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Yes. It statistically represents that people who cannot/will not express opinions with the varied and more than abundant vocabulary of English and choose to do so with crude swearwords. And about censorship: anyone can come and read these forums, even little kiddies. Aside from the legal issues I think it's a bit morally wrong to let profanity rule the posts rather than positively worded arguments.

I like some censoring, like in songs, I just don't like swearing in music. In movies it's fine, except for continuous use of the "F" word, I hate that (I shouldn't be talking though, because when I get mad, that is one of my favorite words
) One thing I DO NOT support and NEVER will support is censoring on TV. And simply because EVERY other country EXCEPT the USA doesn't censor TV!! That is one thing the REALLY pa zisses me off! And I know there are millions of others that hate it too. Anyway, that is my two cents on the matter.
