The whole point of my comparison was to see if Shredder's hardware for Paderborn
was only 10% slower than a Quad Opteron 2.4GHz as was stated here.

There have been plenty of comparisons previously for G5 PPC vs AMD for chess --
I've normally seen the G5 at 70-75% of the AMD.

Deep Shredder doesn't see a huge speed-up for 64-bit, something between 15-18%.
Shouldn't be too hard to estimate.
