You act like he'll care. But here's how it'll go, if he acknowledges it all:
"Some jokesters sent me faked slides. But it was in agreement with what other sources had told me so I made a video about it."

After June 3rd, who will have the bigger historic meltdown, MLID or Jimbo after Computex 2019?

I still remember his BS claim about Redwood Cove having 20+% IPC increase (it has actually close to zero IPC increase)... That was a true facepalm moment. Maybe someone trolled him with that fake info as well, it's possible. The guy is just hilarious, and he still thinks he has real sources.

To do this fake slide they still used his slide from september 2023 as basis, so in a way they just confirm that they are a bunch of desperatly envious badfaithers who are chasing some cheap fame, let them provide something genuine rather than engaging in staged deffamation.

The point of the setup was to prove MLID does not validate his sources. You should understand how important this is more than anyone around here, as you are probably the forum member with the highest standards for the members of the press (so high that you consider most of them incompetent). Moreover, the moral quality of those who played the prank is mostly irrelevant for the subject at hand. The important message here is MLID is susceptible to this type of fake seeds from any number of malicious people, which is probably true for a number of his past leaks as well.

The same thing happened to Jim from AdoredTV, and just because we never knew the folks who played the prank on him does not change the outcome of that fake leak and how desperately he fought to defend it even against seasoned journalists. If you don't have direct access to confidential information then you must ALWAYS validate your sources, especially if you own a monetized YT video channel and have the habit of plastering watermarks all over corporate slides you receive via email. The watermark is not just a way of preventing attribution from other sources, it's also a seal of approval - you indirectly vouch for the slide's authenticity.

Whatever, that look more like some easy way to boost one s own ego than a usefull move for the sake of the technical community, so far no one dismissed his previous uarch diagram alleged leak, and that s the only info i got along with IPC
expectations on another slide of his.

As said i m still waiting infos from all thoses deffamators that do not leak much after all, it s not like someone here in this mob was caught off guard by RDNA3 final numbers with his previous claims being at odd with the actual results.

Well, how different is this new MLID's email slide from those older MLID's Zen 5-related ones? I haven't checked them side-by-size but they both present nearly identical info, right?

Probably not that different (the fake slide was based on known info already), but what’s more egregious is that MLID not only quoted a fake source and marked it as “high confidence” but he did so while misrepresenting the fake source entirely. If you compare what was said in the emails said to MLID and what he wrote, you’ll notice not only did he create two sources out of one but there’s extra info in his video that the fake source doesn’t even mention, which indicates he’s manipulating and/or fabricating info to satisfy his own agenda.

The OG post of mine #41156669 stated clearly that "100% disregard all his written comments and focus just on the 3rd party original slides."

Whataboutism is a very poor strategy. We can criticize other leakers and MLID independently, although it seems to me you're more interested in provoking an emotional response from Kepler than engaging in honest debate. Whatever your reasons for this approach, keep in mind this thread is about MLID and his status of legitimate source of information.
