AMD, NVidia and Intel have all been fixing benchmarks for as long as I can remember. While I'm glad that SiSoft is adding OpenCL to their benchmark suite, I don't see anything new in the fact that AMD wants to help them "optimize" it for their chips.
Seems that with the new cross-licensing AMD really got a view into intels black cauldron of evil patents/machinations of benchmarketing and shows it has learned well..
