This one and #2 would be a close match (Crafty SMP).

The Xeon would be a lot better.  MUCH bigger on-die cache.

4 times slower than the Quad Xeon at 1000 MHz (Some SMP loss, but a Xeon has a
titanic cache and the chips also get a bit more per cycle).

Nothing can run on this yet, worthy of attention, except that program that
played in the German tournament -- and nobody has a copy but those programmers.
