Some of you guys piss on review websites that don't uses updated drivers in reviews. This is even worse than that because this info(driver dates) are not readily available where in most reviews, they tell you exactly what drivers they used.

Basically anandtech caught them cheating and they had to back up on their words and give anand freedom to do what he wanted.

If they didn't, Anand would have published that AMD was cheating on his website and that would have been bad press, even with AMD users.

Read the article update at AT.They(AMD) used the drivers via the the manufacturer's website.Newest intel graphics drivers can't be automatically installed due to a known issue.It was just a set of circumstances ,not cheating.
