Anandtech, Tomshardware, HardOCP, the list goes on.. they've all done this. Stupid stuff like when Tomshardware reviewed the first HT cpus. He ran multiple non-SMP applications and 'magically' the HT one was twice as fast. No one else got those results of course. HardOCP somehow showed a P4-2.53GHz tying and/or beating an Athlon XP running a true 2.5GHz. This is also complete retardation. I tested a P4-2.53 @ 3.32GHz and my Athlon XP @ 2.5GHz *STILL* won. Anandtech continues the "Intel is my hero" game apparently. Comparing the maximum wattage from the Athlon XP to the Pentium 4's average wattage (not the maximum). I emailed him *3* times with tech docs showing he was wrong, he did not change the article. Anandtech has also crippled AMD systems for a long time now. I've had the same setup he (and Tom) has used and could not reproduce his low results without making my memory timings poor, clocking the memory down (making the bus asynchronous), dropping AGP to 1X, etc. Best way to find out whats faster is to just run the tests yourself.
