However, Franck was assuming that the screenshot was from a non-patched version of CPUZ...
CPUZ is easily patched and this is done quite often by those who write and test the bios. Now you have to ask yourself, who is most likely to actually have an ES chip right now? Could it be an engineer that writes and tests bioses? Wouldn't they need to modify the way CPUZ reads the bios for info if they were working on a new model of CPU?
@Viditor
You have no idea what you are talking about!
1. You can't patch CPUz, unless you have the source code, which will have some modifications, then being compiled and linked and finally to generate a patch.
2. The BIOS has no common point with CPUz. CPUz is only a util which displays your system specs, based on known data and does nothing more.
3. There are no ES and if someone has one and wants to share some info about K10 with the public, he would probably do more than just a camera shoot of a monitor with CPUz displayed. At least he could try to validate, which is easier then to make a photo with camera, transfer it to PC, resize it and upload the image to an image sharing server.
In other words, ALL ARE FAKE!
There are ES of Barca/Phenom/AMDs new gear now.
Does CPU-Z read BIOS to gather info? Or does it read PLLs?
I cant really see AMD ES holders/testers bothering to patch CPU-Z to get windows info somehow
It does niether. It detects the installed hardware and shows information based on known specs given out by the manufacturers.

By using CPUID instrucion, reading MSR (machine specific registers) and PCI devices (such as memory controller). CPUID will tell you familly , model, stepping, chache size and other various informations regarding CPU. Reading some MSRs you can obtain current multiplier. By using timing functions or RDTSC instruction one can obtain CPU speed thus calculate HTT(FSB) and other speed. Using IN and OUT intrsuctions and knoving how PCI address space is organized, one can access for example memory controller (or hypertransport controller) and read timings (also set new timings). This is how I wrote A64Info.
