The best single-cpu machine was Tim's 21264. at under 800mhz (600 or so I think) crafty was hitting near 1M nodes per second. I ran on a 16 cpu 21164 machine a year or so ago and hit 7M nodes per second in blitz on ICC. I played with that machine on ICC for an hour so so. Intel/AMD don't have anything that is within 1/3 the speed of the alpha... at least for Crafty. And note that Tim's machine was a _slow_ 21264 and it was faster than anything out (single cpu) by a factor of 4 or so.
