 |  AMD Resigns from BAPCo Over SYSmark 2012 Concerns; NVIDIA & VIA Also Leave What’s in a Benchmark? This is a pertinent question that all users need to ask themselves, because if you don’t know what a benchmark actually tests and how that relates to the real world, the scores are meaningless. Today, AMD has announced that they are resigning from BAPCo over a long standing dispute over the weighting of scores within the SYSmark suite. AMD specifically references SYSmark 2012 (SM12), but there have been complaints in the past and the latest release is apparently the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4464/a...ark12-concerns
