That's quite and Interesting claim. (Sarcasm)
Tek Syndicate, for instance (not just them others too though hard to find what with most sites running benches/tests pretty much owned by Intel) did tests of their own and the FX only occasionally looses to Intel in real world scenarios an 8350 can sometimes even keep up with a 3820.
Also the cinebench scandal was a scandal involving cinebench and the Intel compiler they (and other synthetic benchmarks writers) used, of which when detecting an Intel chip did it the most optimized way possible, but if it saw an AMD chip, it did it the worst way possible making sure even though your processor clearly can do and is doing much better than the test so claims, that you think your processor is slow as shit and worthless and that you must OMG buy Intel, buy Intel, when patched to make it think you're always on Intel, AMD chips had a massive performance jump.
Sort of like that nvidia driver scandal/hack they did with the Geforce FX series ages ago, only if they had modified 3dmark to run slower on ATI cards.
As for the whole shadow mapping thing, that's just retarded.
I'd rather have a simple static shadow that pretended to be dynamic, than a ugly piece of poo.
That's like if they decided to use Bilinear filtering, and 2x2 texture sizes (then stretching them out) all of the do not want.
