DIGIC 5+
Digic 5+ is an enhancement to the Digic 5 and Digic 4. The performance is said to be 17x the performance of the Digic 4.
[10] The additional processing power allows for higher frame rate in continuous shooting (burst) modes, and greater noise correction through the use of signal processing.
Digic 5+ is used in the
Canon EOS-1D X,
Canon EOS 6D, and the
Canon EOS 5D Mark III.
[11] The EOS-1D X includes dual Digic 5+ processors, allowing for a capture rate of 12 frames per second in RAW + JPEG, and an additional DIGIC-4 processor specifically for its Intelligent Subject Analysis System.

I would not call that cheating, just smart time to find some real facts i guess. Also what are other camera manufacturers doing? Also this camera is a massive leap over others canons even those with the digi 5+
