its not exactly 'inflated', it makes a huge difference in the cpu physics tests. i've never tested this cpu without that driver, but my q9450 @ 3.0ghz only gets a little over 33 ops in the physics tests where the e8400 gets over 100 at 3.0ghz. so you cant exactly say its inflated because the driver actually makes a huge difference, saying its inflated sounds like its cheating the test somehow.
