Scroll down to the 186.crafty graph.  That's the graph for SPECINT2000 results
of Crafty.  You can see that the Itanium runs Crafty very slowly.

There's also a tool there to estimate the SPECINT results for future speed
grades of various processors.  It estimates that the P4 at 2800MHz runs Crafty
no faster than an AthlonXP 2000+ (1667MHz), based on the results of the current
speed-grades of processor.
