Four things determine the takeaway a reader will have when reading a benchmark
a) What is measured
b) What the product is compared against
c) Which subset of features the reviewer focusses on
d) The reviewers take on the design compromises specific to the particular product
Unfortunately all four of those are fairly subjective things so it is hard to make a fact based case against someone who is diligent with the measurements and excels at writing. That being said I invite you to find focus on intels inability to ship working graphic drivers, lack of ability to decode 1080p video for the longest time with an integrated chipset, focus on multithreaded benchmarks early on where amd was shipping more albeit slower cores at the same price point, lack of linux support for poulsbo chipsets etc, lack of comments on intels habit of gimping processors within the same family by disabling functionality( support for ECC, support for acceleration of Virtual machines, reference - http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo ).
