I'm not accusing Intel of this, but the idea popped into my head when I read this message.
For the standard processor and/or system tests, I've heard of companies rigging their chips/components to work really well specifically for the tests, not necessarily a general performance increase. Can that be done for our tests? I'm guessing not (especially since our tests can change over time).
I don't think the performance test analogy is accurate. I think they are elevating the priority of problem reports created from our tests -- which they don't control or run. That isn't rigging. Jeff
