Aeassa, thanks. This is a really great amount of data. I'm especially grateful for this snippet:

Geekbench is interesting: you look at the results, and the main “unflattering” results are in a few sub-benchmarks, where the IA version is set up to handle denorms precisely, and the input dataset is configured to be 100% denorms. This is not normal FP code, not a normal setup, and possibly not even a apples-to-apples comparison to how ARM is handling these numbers. So we view this as an anomaly. (The Geekbench developer agrees with us)

Maybe it would be nice if the Geekbench developer made an update that uses a bit of a more realistic FP instruction stream, so that people can stop using this benchmark as a way to discredit Intel's architecture. This truly is a great response.
