I assume that the only difference between these two tests was the hardware, and
that the opponents, the time controls, pondering, etc. were all otherwise
identical?

Even with all that, if you can give us the complete testing results, I'm sure
someone can do the math to show that the margin of error can easily explain
these results.

As for the engine not being optimized for AMD, all I can say is that it does not
run WORSE on an AMD, because that is what Johan uses, and I'm sure he would have
noticed by now....
