A P3/1GHz will do about 600kN, so a 2GHz would do at least 1MN. I get 268,138 NPS for a 500 MHz PIII running the bench command (which does a mix of instructions), which would make about 500K for 1GHz and 1M for 2GHz (roughly). However, I don't think a 2GHz pentium or athlon chip exists and 667MHz alpha chips are ancient history. But I am guessing they would come out fairly similarly. All in all the technology for the Alpha machines is definitely superior. I suspect when you factor in the tablebase access, hashing, etc. the Alpha would still be ahead of the 'hypothetical' 2GHz X86 architecture.
