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

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.

OrumusSTThose benchmarks were obviously flawed and one can't help but wonder if it was done on purpose considering the circumstances but.....why? Intel was going to win. While Ryzen has taken AMD leaps and bounds it still is not as fast as Intel in most gaming situations...we know this. They know this...Intel knows this...So why try to make it seem like Intel is even further ahead then they are when you know the backlash is going to beat you up when the embargo is over? It makes no sense unless PT is truly that incompetent. As the saying goes ; Never assume malice when incompetence could be the motive.
Doh Intel did it to show that for 70% to 100% more you can get 50% more than Ryzen.
Intel doesn't like the truthful review that reads double the money 100% more for 4% more in 1440p or 10% more in 1080p than 2700x.
It's simple get it?
Intel wants a fake review they can fake their terribad garbage value proposition as pretty good compare to Ryzen.
