AMD attempts to shape review content with staged release of info

I did not know if I should put this here or in the CPU section. The review covers the GPU portion of trinity. Also there was a post here recently about ethics, so this I think is the best spot. AMD is losing a lot of respect.

Since this is regarding APUs rather than GPUs, I'm going to lock this thread. It is a discussion best had over in the CPU forum

First, AMD isn't the first to do this. Second, AMD owns the information until they choose to release it. It may be poor business practice in your view but, it is not unethical.

Anything to put AMD in a bad light, eh? 🙄

Already a long thread about this in the CPU section.

Yeah, I saw that. CPU performance must really be terrible for them to do this.
