As Terry pointed out, running CM on a slightly differant or even a lot faster
processor wont give you any unexpected better purformance for CM (or for most
other engine).

the performance differance will be (should be), related to the performance
differance of all program under the same condition.
Besides 10 games says nothing.

I have played a set of 10games where Yace beats Shredder6, do I suppose YACE is
better than Shredder? obviously not.

CM8000 is good (and the only commercial engine that play most with), but its
certainly is not the best.
