Leaked AMD Ryzen benchmarks look fake

Just a quick note that there are some leaked AMD Ryzen making the rounds today.

These results allegedly show the performance of the Zen-based Ryzen versus the Intel Core i7-7700K, Core i7-6900K and Core i7-6950X processors in Cinebench R15 and Fritz Chess.

This leak originated at a Chinese forum from Baidu and the benchmark results have since been deleted. I will not be posting these results as moderators at the original source confirmed this leak was fabricated. The results were reportedly gathered on an Intel Xeon E5-2660, with a spoofed ID to make it look like an AMD chip.
