Anybody already tried the 13.3 beta drivers?

I run them on my Xubuntu system where my Sapphire HD 6670 reports a stunning 1.5 GFlop of single precision,
higher than my ASUS HD 6670s reports under catalyst 13.1 (whether under Win8 or Ubuntu, it gets no higher than 1.2 GFlop)

First I thought that the HD 6530D APU that's running the Xubuntu system was secretly incorporated into this high value,
but after I had to disable the GPU part of the APU in order to be able to boot using a VGA screen the high value persisted.

Is it the driver, or is it Sapphire? Please give me your comments....

It's the driver, since I've installed Catalyst 13.4 on my Windows 8 Llano system BOINC reports 1,500 GFlops for that HD 6670 too.
That's twice the value as mentioned on Wikipedia for a HD 6670 (768 GFlop)!
