[citation][nom]mayankleoboy1[/nom]A few points ;1. Most of the rendering software are FP heavy, disadvantaging the AMD from the start. Maybe add some other render software that are more integer heavy ? 2. The files you use in winzip17 OpenCL test are probably < 8MB in size. Hence winzip doesnt send them to GPU for compression. A better selection of files should be used in which some are >8mb in size and a few are 50MB or greater. Otherwise, the OpenCL test is meaningless.[/citation]
Point 1 - Most rendering does tend to be FPU intensive, in fact any rendering software that didn't exploit any available FPU would just be a joke. The fact that there IS FPU capability means it's going to get used and shows a serious failing in the AMD architecture. In your world you'd obviously rather not have FPU at all, or what point are you trying to make?
Point 2 - I don't think anyone really cares much about OpenCL as this isn't the main focus of this comparison. We already know what the GPU's are/aren't capapble of and can work that bit out for ourselves.
Since you said "a few points" but only mentioned 'a couple' I'll add the third for you. Picking around for benchmarks which provide a favourable outlook for the AMD fanboi's does not provide an objective comparison. Firstly you need to maintain your previous tests for the sake of comparison, and secondly you can pick whatever tests you want but if what you choose doesn't reflect the type of use by the bulk of users then your niche tests produce meaningless results - so please, take heed of the point the reviewer is trying to make rather than suggesting non-objective comparisons.
