You are correct (I think) about the concern regarding the fill rate. And the really interesting thing is that the Pikachu fellow, after reporting tons of scores showing that the prerelease Willamette's fpu was crappy, also chunked out Q3 scores which sounded ridiculous. I ignored them at the time, but this is all really strange.

Oooh, that's a good one! Hadn't considered that.

Okay, I can beat that:

The latest Sandra has "preliminary Pentium 4 support".
