VIA agrees that BAPCo tests don't accurately reflect real world usage

AMD's PR agents would have lost some sleep last week over the media backlash that has accused them of being bad sports over how well Intel CPUs compare to AMD's in the most recent flavor of BAPCO SySMark benchmarks. AMD said they were pushed out of the BAPCO group and that the tests are not equal and not transparent.
Now VIA has come along and also decided to resign from the BAPCO group, with similar concerns. A VIA spokesperson said:
“We strongly believe that the benchmarking applications tests developed for SYSmark 2012 and EEcoMark 2.0 do not accurately reflect real world PC usage scenarios and workloads and therefore feel we can no longer remain as a member of the organization."
Oooh ... another disgruntled ex-member of the BAPCO group.
