Or measuring if an engine scales better on an Intel or AMD chip based on the NPS
given that its the same engine? I appreciate your helpful advice but I am really
interested in the NPS mainly as I'm looking to see which dual cpus offer a
better scaling factor. This way is also much easier for people to do.

If you would like to do 10+ tests and post the NPS and time-to-depth please be
my guest. Its a lot more valid, but more to ask for than a simple test with 1
then 2 threads.

Anson
