That is a strong statement are you saying that they lied about the numbers?

Also you do know that many of the "facts" reported by haxial are complete bull? They actually ran the most useful test for me since I would be compiling with GCC on wither of these machines.

I'm not saying they lied intentially. I'm saying that Veritest screwed up the benchmark. I think that for Veritest to quote SPEC numbers for machines that are less than the SPEC numbers published for those same machines by those machines' OEMs is shady business. Why not just shoot to beat what's already published instead of trying to create some worst-case scenario?
Why would you use GCC when you could get better results using a vendor compiler?
What was bull about haxial's write-up?
