Advanced Micro Devices has chosen PricewaterhouseCoopers to replace Arthur Andersen, the accounting conglomerate behind the Enron debacle, to audit its benchmark tests.
Since last fall, Andersen has validated benchmark tests performed by AMD as part of the chipmaker's "True Performance Initiative," an effort to get consumers to look at overall performance, rather than megahertz, when buying PCs.

My, what a tangled web of Digital Rights Management (DRM) has been woven such that manufacturers are scrambling to make their stances known. After some initial confusion on an Australian web board caused by an AMD imposter, official AMD spokesperson Pat Moorehead has clarified that AMD's upcoming Opteron chips will not require DRM implementations on consumer PC's.
AMD giving in and going to support DRM
Well everyone this is a sob story. It looks like AMD is now going to start supporting DRM in its new chips. Opteron, their new processor is going to be supporting microsofts new attempted violation of our rights (Palladium). Looks like it might be a good idea too stock up on hardware and enjoy your mp3's and such while you can. More information can be read from an article atThe Age.
