Because as part of their claims on how good they were, they wrote benchmarks that were biased toward their own processors. The original P4 weren't as good as they claimed.

Besides those benchmarks, which are WebMark 2001 and SYSmark 2001, the complaint also claims that:
- they secretly paid to software companies to add Pentium 4 optimizations to programs, that were commonly used for benchmarking
- disabled some Pentium III features to make Pentium 4 look better
- used better memory for Pentium 4 tests, while using standard memory for Pentium III/Athlon tests.
