The opteron is in the market for more time and it is the reason that it
considered as new technology.

The Itanium is 1.6gh when there is already 1.7ghz when the opteron is 250.

I guess that the difference between 1.6ghz and 1.7gh is less than 10% so crafty
is still faster on the best opteron and not on the best itanium.
