I don't even know either, I joined only a few weeks ago, but in order to not hijack the htread which is nubius' property I will avoid discussing such off-topics.
On topic,
Yea well many places sponsor events, and I believbe this was intended as a true competition. So AMD won fair and square and intel just happened to be sponsoring the even which is cool. I don't see why this is so blown out of perportion. But I expected AMD to win anyway since they are favored moreso in that catagory.
