I know a few of you here are interested in the AMD vs Intel thing and just speed in general. Well, here you go. Crafty benchmarks of CPU's clocked beyond anything thats out currently. This should show us what we can expect in the near future as clock speeds ramp up even further. Just got a friend to test Crafty on his new Northwood P4-1.8A at 2465MHz(137fsb). He's using a Pentium 4 optimized (and profiled) Crafty v18.11. I am using Crafty 18.11 profiled for the AthlonXP. The results were taken without a crafty.rc file. Here they are... Intel Pentium 4 (Northwood) 1800MHz overclocked to 2465MHz, 137fsb. Total nodes: 104161030 Raw nodes per second: 992009 Total elapsed time: 105 SMP time-to-ply measurement: 6.095238 AMD AthlonXP 1900+ 1600MHz overclocked to 1860MHz, 155fsb. Total nodes: 104161030 Raw nodes per second: 1197253 Total elapsed time: 87 SMP time-to-ply measurement: 7.356322 As you can see here... the Pentium 4 having twice the L2 and 605MHz more than the AthlonXP still gets beaten by over 20%. Not too shabby I figure. :) Can't wait for the AMD Hammer (x86-64)...
