With all this flux in the coprocessor market the "Intel Inside" ads seem to
be having an effect.  I have one person who doesn't want anything to do with

  "those X parts, don't want sparkles showing up on my ray traced images"

where X is a vendor who shall remain nameless, mostly because I don't think
this person has any idea whether there are differences or not, it is called
"user superstition".  On the other hand, I don't know that there aren't.

SO, does anyone have results from comparing these parts against each other,
not just for speed but for accuracy in a broad variety of test cases?

Please reply by email if possible

Thanks
