If you have been following the saga in varying threads on XS you'll note AMD is putting a rather interesting spin on all the world records...they are world records on AMD hardware to date.
I.e. no one has clocked an AMD CPU to 7GHz before...so its a world record...on AMD hardware.
Same with the claimed 3Dmark06 WR, among a couple others.
For some reason all the world record claims fail to carry mention of this caveat until someone on a forum pushes back with the "what about so and so from 2 yrs ago?" data points.
Sad really, because if it weren't for the fine print on the WR claims we could ALL enjoy the coolness of the spectacle 100% instead of getting nit picky over what a world record means or is intended to convey.
