Anyone have thoughts on where are these benchmarks might be coming from? Part of me wants to put in my order today, and part of me wants to wait until after the YouTube reviews.

At this point you would expect key developers like Microsoft, Adobe, OmniGroup etc to have retail hardware for testing.

And whilst they are under NDA you do often see them running anonymous benchmarks like Geekbench.

Ah, I didn't realize devs got anything other than the developer kit up until the release.
