When I was solicting benchmark for Crafty , the Celeron above 1.3 ghz were
really bad.  Worse than P4.  The P3's were the best for Crafty in terms of
NPS/Mhz of the Intel processors.

You can check this site out - but I have already done some calcualtions.

On average - a high end PIII would perform the Crafty Spec at ~ 530/Ghz.

The current crop of Xeons at 3.6 Ghz pefrom ye Crafty Spec generally at
360-390/Ghz with the highend processors like the MP that have 2MB cache doing
the best, but they generally cost much than a plain Xeon.  The processors with
800Mgz bus generally spec out 3-4% faster than the 533Mhz bus.  They do not have
any Celeron results.

The fastest current Intel in the Intyel Extreme edition that does the Crafty
Spec at 400/Ghz.  Still a long ways from the 500+/ghz that the P3 did.
