After that and the PcPer guy crying about not getting a sample yet when it turned out nobody had one, I'd love to see a bit firmer evidence to be really sure that it's as they say it is, come to think of it. It's a very heavy allegation, even if it's a good reminder that companies do the right thing not because it is right but because it is profitable.
There's potential for a chilling effect in the tone of other reviews. It's not good because it could influence other journalists. I'm definitely going to be putting more work into my own analysis and trusting words less this time through.
Really, who cares. AMD or Nvidia or MSI or Asus or Intel or whoever can give samples to whatever sites they want and the remainder can buy their samples. In the end, a KitGuru review has 0 impact on my purchase decisions as do several other sites that give similar borderline mediocre reviews so I'd prefer the samples end up in the hand of more competent reviewers anyway.
