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. -- GCP
