New Canon 5d Mk2 rumors

Dpreview seems to be the place to shoot down any 5D mk2 rumor in recent times and the latest is no exception. The latest post lists the following specs
New FF from Canon:

1* new body design with integrated grip (just like 1D series but smaller)
2* ISO 100-12500
3* new processor (not digic III, may be digic IV or something completely new, I have no idea)
4* 6-8 fps (I don’t know if both or either 6 or
5* 3.2 inch lcd (not oled) and I don’t know what resolution is
6* I don’t know how many MP, my friend believes it is more than 15 MP but there is no certain number he’d tell. Personally I was hoping high-around 18 MP cam, may be it will be. Who knows!
7* Different name: not 3D, not 7D or 5D Mark II… something different; looks like it might have different names for Europe, USA and Asia (like kiss, xsi, d450 etc)
8* Timing: most likely they will wait for Sony’s announcement for their 24 MP FF; first or second week of September.

An integrated grip would be good for pro photographers but the downside of a larger body is some will miss the high performance vs portability of the 5D, i.e. travel and landscape shoots. High ISO seems to be a bit of a buzz after Nikons performance but how many shots do people take in lower light?  As a Canon user as nicer display with a loupe type option would be desirable.
