I would expect them to provide samples to the usual review sites.

Have you lost it? This is the exact same chip they have been shipping for almost two years, except with different power characteristics.

The reason AMD did it this way is because it is better from a PR standpoint.

You'll get your anecdotal overclocking stories and opinion pieces like you usually do. But now those benchmarking knuckleheads won't have a clean slate to work with. Instead, the starting point is that a reputable independent analysis says this is an award winning process.

In my opinion, this was a smart move.
