But the consistency of the information given has been so sporatic, that its very difficult to ever make any solid conclusions.

All the signs seem to point at fraudulent posts and claims.

It just makes the entire thing that much harder to swallow now.
Just who is telling the truth at this point?
yes there were many benchmarks at first and many turned out to be fake. but as we are nearing release we are seeing constancy and some benchmarks match with others making us believe those are the true results. as far as this goes its been done in the past that a cpu with a lower cpu score can actually manage to get higher gpu scores. if this is the case it might be one of those things where even tho we have seen benchmarks where i7 beats out phenom II phenom II might end up being a better gaming cpu. notice what i just said is speculation and im not basing it on any facts but the 3d mark result is interesting nonetheless.
