chipguy - portland group
I think there have been portland group compiler results submitted to spec.org with the 4.0 version of their product already (so many threads in various forums, I can't remember where I saw this linked, probably from aces somewhere).
Also, would *you* want someone doing benches on your beta project? nVidia did the same relative performance stuff with the developement nForce boards. ATI did it with the R300 series cards. I think it's standard faire for the industry to work this way. That's not a normative statement, just a positive one.
