<Those are not Tom's results at all, in fact he notes it was done by an Intel supported site and suggests salt might be in order, large grains, one each.>

Huh? I thought Tom got the benchmark program from "an Intel-supported site" and ran them on his own machines. That would explain the presence of the overclocked Celerons (500/100 and 450/100, plus the weird 400/100 setting that isn't possible with multiplier-locked Mendocinos) as well as the presence of the AMD processors, since an Intel-supported site wouldn't normally run benchmarks on these processors.

That doesn't make the benchmark program itself any more trustworthy, but it does show that Tom is able to duplicate the results on his machines, and it does show that Pentium III's SSE is more than just hype.
