Subject: Deep Sjeng Opteron Performance Results

I had the opportunity to run some tests on an Opteron machine,
and benchmarked Deep Sjeng on it, compared to the Athlon XP.

The Opteron is 70% faster.

Yes, that's _SEVENTY PERCENTS FASTER_, clock for clock.

An 1.6Ghz Opteron runs Deep Sjeng faster than a (nonexisting) 2.7Ghz
Athlon XP would.

Operating system was Linux 2.4.19, SuSE 8.0 Opteron version.
I compiled with GCC 3.2.2, pure (portable) C source.

The reference was a MSVC6 SP5 with Processor Pack compile, with
optimized parameters, and with optimized assembly language for
most move generators and some other functions. (The fastest IA32
binary I have for the Athlon), running on an Athlon XP of the same
clockspeed.
