I don't think anyone has doubts about the ability of manufacturers to manipulate products to get higher speeds, but usually it turns out whether the statements are true or not when the product hits retail. AMD presented a 3GHz Phenom at either Games Convention or Cebit (can't remember), that never hit retail. Even most early CPUs could not be overclocked to 3 GHz. Why you are in such a rush now to show that AMD might have used dirty tricks is still something I don't get. In 6 weeks we will know the result when first CPUs are out and overclocked.
I only hope you will make available what gives you such a performance boost. Changing 8 bits sounds rather complicated. Would be nice to have some solid proof. You said that you could do 6 GHz or that you have done 6 GHz on Nehalem. Interesting if true, but without proof it is just a claim. Now that you made clear, that the 4.8 GHz were done using "dirty tricks" as you might call itmakes it sound more reasonable. The CPUs I tried so far, were reaching 85C loaded on 4 cores with about 3.8 GHz and 1.35 V.
