They might just pump the benchmark link out a day or so before beta client is downloadable. Kind of don't see the reason for a benchmark if this is the case though. Unless they are effectively getting the beta testers to "test" the benchmark which will then be modified / finalized for the release - moreso then using it as a tool to see if people can run beta on their systems?

If we do see it, my votes are on the written letter in a day or 2.
