Tomshardware for one >fakes reviews, there's already proof of that. Anandtech still runs the biased It seems plausible to me that many hardware sites are biased/corrupt. That said, recent processor reviews have been roughly in line with SPEC CPU scores, which are certainly not corrupt. It just irks me when people suggest that Intel wasted _millions_ of man hours and their engineers' integrity "jacking up" their flagchip processor's clock speed for marketing reasons instead of performance reasons. -Tom
