I didn't run the SMP tests for AMD, I don't have a one here and have no plans
to get one.  I posted a chart of data others provided.  I don't even remember
which position we used now.  All that was significant was that all the speedup
numbers (raw nps, not parallel search times) were in the 1.4-1.5 range with
AMD, and 1.8 and above for the intel boxes...

I personally believe it highlights a memory bottleneck...
