Subject: Pentium 3 + 4 Speeds for Chess Programs

Author: Mike Hood

Date: 10:33:23 06/24/03

In the article recently posted on Chessbase's site John Nunn points out that for
applications that use a lot of integer arithmetic (like chess programs) a
Pentium 4 is slower than a Pentium 3 at the same clock speed. This is news to
me... can anybody please quantify this by giving in percent how much slower it
is. Either by references to web pages or the results of your own experiments.

This could help me in my next computer purchase. My finances are limited, so one
of my options is to choose between a fast Pentium 3 and a slow Pentium 4.
