    AMD never did hold the highest 3DMark record by TG Daily

    An Intel employee and well-known overclocker contacted TG Daily to point out that AMD actually never did hold the 3DMark record...

    ...For example, the AMD entry on Futuremark Intel pointed us to only shows a 4.481 GHz clock speed (49% overclock), and not the 6.5 GHz shown in the video. But even more interesting than that, the Intel Core i7 entry on Futuremark Intel pointed us to shows their Model 940 2.93 GHz CPU only clocked at 3.693 GHz (a 26% overclock)...

    ...fact that it can overclock by 26% and produce a higher 3DMark score than AMD's 49% overclocked machine ...

    This is what we get when we combine Intel employee, stupid editor and Futuremark's ORB not recognizing CPU clock speeds correctly for Phenom II X4 and Core i7.

    "nice" to see that Intel employee is contacting news sites and telling them that our result is not a world record..
