Can someone explain these benchmark results?

The memory benchmarks seem just a little high.

The latest unreleased beta of SiSoft Sandra shows a HUGE performance boost for the T-Bird and Palomino + DDR SDRAM. I believe it is build 8.12 that first features the newer memory benchmark and scores higher with the T-Bird/Palomino.
