With different >applications, this rough equivalency can be expected to vary of course. My Athlon 2400+ (2GHz) gets roughly 1Mnps from the opening position, and up to about 1.3+ Mnps in the endgame with Ruffian. This sounds similar to Centrino 1.3GHz. I imagine the 1.7GHz chip would perform very nicely.
