Thanks for posting Rob!
This is alarming if true that it was 'engineered' to falsify. I can't even imagine directing my engineering team to even think of such a thing. Amazing
It happens all the time, across industries - we had a bunch of IT "benchmarking scandals"- just a sampling here:
Intel finally agrees to pay $15 to Pentium 4 owners over AMD Athlon benchmarking shenanigans | ExtremeTech
Futuremark confirms nVidia is cheating in benchmark | Games | Geek.com
This one seems particularly egregious, but I'll bet they have some type of excuse as to the legality of them doing this.
