Exactly. Everyone claims something but it all boils down to marketing. Don't think for a second that there isn't a massive dollup of marketing fluff in that AMD email. Just like NVIDIA's timing of this is admitedly suspect. But that's marketing for ya; it's a game of chess.
It's up to the receiver of the email to sift through it, not jump to conclusions and hold off posting before vetting the information through their sources. Obviously, that wasn't done here.
Common sense dictates stand alone benchmarks released a month before retail availability will have issues in some form or another. Instead, we have a "sky is falling" piece of news that seems much more serious that it really is.
