I used CSTal 2.03 among other programs, to see the performance increase after upgrading my computer from P2/333 to Athlon XP 1900+ (= 1,6 GHz). It gained additionally ~40% in relation to the clock rate. To reach depth 10 (IIRC, in the staring position): P2-333 A1600 ----------------- 164 sec. 24 sec. Solve Quicktest pos. #10 (1.g5): P2-333 A1600 ----------------- 118 sec. 18 sec. I didn't compare many programs; another engine which benefit - but much less -from Athlon compared to Intel P3 was The King 3.12d, sel.10 with ~10% above the clock rate ratio.
