i hope that Francois wont do a demo with "tricks" he mentioned
whatever you guys do it should be replicated by benchers in XS as well with retail parts......AMD knows if they are going to deceive the public that it will hurt them badly in PR as this is really really big news
if user binned retail parts reach nowhere near 6GHZ+ screens and 5GHz stable on DICE then AMD has a lot to answer for
no dirty tricks please

Hand picking CPUs is not considered a dirty trick.
Switching off the temperature sensor is not a dirty trick either, as long as it is feasible on widely available products.
Another example. I believe it is acceptable to switch off some cores while benching, as long as everybody can do it on their own CPUs.
It is not necessary for everyone to know how to do it though.
On the other hand I believe that core i7 multi threading gives extremely high 3DMark Vantage CPU scores, without any real gaming benefits.
Should we consider this to be a dirty trick?
