The point being made is that on intel those boost do not exist and the consumer who buys the card based on the fact it beat the ati card by a few percent winds up getting the slower card. It is shady like W1zzard said, is it wrong...no. they should have simply called it a feature and acknowledged it. instead they deny that it is true.
