Subject: Athlon vs Intel question?

Author: Pham Minh Tri

I see that recently many computer chess programmers prefer Athlon to Intel. I
have not any Athlon and experience about it (but planing to buy one). However, I
see the benchmark of TSCP (in Tom Kerrigan site) shows that Intel is faster than
Athlon in almost all cases. So I do not understand that preference: because of
price only? Or is TSCP not a typical chess program (in terms of complexity)? Or
do I miss something?
An additional question: Could VC6 optimize for Athlon?
Thanks.
