  The result is either bogus (do the povbench maintainers really
corroborate the submissions?) or the result of rendering the
benchmark with non-standard parameters (eg. without antialiasing,
with a lower resolution or whatever) thus being invalid.
  There's simply no way that processor can render the benchmark that
fast with genuine benchmark settings.
  I don't believe there exists currently *any* processor which can
singlehandedly render the benchmark that fast. All the other <15min
results in that page are probably bogus as well. I'll believe it
when I see it myself live (with me running the benchmark and checking
the results).
