How to say this without putting much mud on my face... I said we have
2 issues in the compiler where we're working to fix. The benchmarks
where AMD is slower isn't their fault. The geomean on those 6
benchmarks drags the numbers down. Look at the performance for the
other benchmarks to get an idea of where it should be..
