It wouldn’t surprise me. Intel, AMD and nVidia all test in development products on common bench marks. Especially comparative ones like geek bench and CPUz. And AMD and Intel seem to do a lot more of it for CPUs.
But the thing is that since those programs post leader boards or include pre-loaded lists of scores. They seem to be a huge source of leaks. So when manufacturers work directly with them to get a new chip identified and tested properly, usually close to release, they pop up with all sorts of details in those lists and people can find them and see the details of the chips. Even when you’re talking prototypes and they disguise them as something else to fool the software. People catch an existing processor, but hey it has weird clocks, And a different number of cores. And the score is way different than other processors at those settings.
So I’m sure they’re using the same benchmarks as anyone else. And I’m sure they’re pretty far along since they claim they’re putting them out in 2 years. I’m not sure if they’d be far enough along to be messing with that sort of benchmark. Since there doesnt even seem to be rumors about what those processors may look like. And I don’t think we’ve seen any of those bench mark leaks.
