We just saw results (crafty mailing list) where a 21264 (EV67) machine produced over 650K nodes per second with crafty... over 2x what a PIII/650 will do. And 667 is not the fastest EV67 box around... 750's exist. and 1000's are likely to be available fairly soon (of course they also have 1.6ghz 21364's in the lab and that is guaranteed to run fast... :) )
