Message from link above:

"Hi Frank,

Axon Bench has Geniss Axon XP chess engine, totaly written in machine language.
It is mixture of 16-bit and 32-bit instructions. So, we could say that Athlon
processors are more optimized for that kind of code compared with Intel
machines. The test proves that for computer chess AMD machines are the best
choise. PIV-s are simply over-optymized only for CLEAR 32-bit code. It is
interesting fact that huge number of chess engines (with exception of Fritz)
runs much better on AMD processors !

regards, Vladan"

This is a little different than saying it is optimized for AMD.  It's a fine
line perhaps.  Saying Axon is optimized for AMD would be like saying all chess
engines are optimized for AMD because they simply run faster on those CPUs.
