I kind of doubt hardware played a role in the match under discussion.
CSTAL's result against Crafty would be considered good for most

Re Intel vs AMD: I have been running an AMD K6-2 for months and it is
very, very stable. It is not overclocked.
Most processors have bugs ("errata" they call them). Several years
back, Intel used to be very bad about publicizing them: you had to
sign a long non-disclosure form to get a list. I don't know if
they are better now, either about manufacturing or about fessing
up to flaws. But they still have some, I am sure.
