In response to accusations that the new benchmark SYSMark2012 is not valid for today's hardware, BAPCo AMD fired back by saying that it has approved 80 percent of the proposals in the benchmark and ask how they can be invalid.

Business Applications Performance Corporation officials also denied that they exclude AMD from the group after AMD began to nagging tried publicly.

AMD 's problems seem tied to the introduction of the new platform, Llano, although slower than comparable Intel x86 chips, but is much faster graphics performance.

"" Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has until recently been a longtime member of BAPCo. We welcomed AMD 's full participation in the two-year development cycle of SYSmark 2012, AMD' s leading role in creating the development process, the BAPCo uses now and in the professional resources in the development of workload content, "the organization said in a statement.

"Each member in BAPCo gets one vote on any proposals made by member companies.  AMD voted in support of over 80 percent of the SYSmark 2012 development milestones, and were supported by BAPCo in 100 percent of the SYSmark 2012 proposals they put forward to the consortium."

On Tuesday morning, AMD lowered their relations with BAPCo officially released shortly after the new standard was and tell the public that the SYSMark2012 is not relevant and leads to wasted $ 8 billion over favoring Intel and AMD processors. AMD said the IPO, BAPCo threatened to expel the company from the group. BAPCo, but says nothing happens like.

"BAPCo notes for the record, the threat as opposed to the false claim of AMD, AMD never BAPCo with expulsion from the consortium, despite previous breaches of its obligations to the consortium member BAPCo under agreement," the group said.

"BAPCo is disappointed that a former member of the consortium is once again the confidentiality agreement signed them, in an attempt to customers dissuade from using SYSmark to assess the performance of their systems chosen violated. BAPCo believes that the performance in each of the six scenarios in SYSmark 2012, which is based on the discovery of its membership, as measured fairly reflects the performance that users see when full use of the bundled applications. "

BAPCo said, despite leaving AMD, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, Samsung, Seagate, Sony, Toshiba and ARCintuition to members of the group will continue and the applications were selected for the test with the market research.

This is not AMD's first complained about BAPCo. The company was previously raised hell about what he said baked MobileMark 2007 benchmarks in favor Intel over AMD's weight. AMD has not only alone but this time leave. Semiaccurate.com reported on Monday that VIA and Nvidia also terminate BAPCo. Nvidia confirms official Maximum PC that the company also declined to comment but left BAPCo why.
