Hallo!

AMD K6-2 is faster on average (clockwise). Comparison P3 vs AMD K6-2

Hiarcs is slightly faster on Pentium
Fritz  is slightly faster on AMD
Junior and Nimzo is faster on AMD
Rebel is much faster on AMD
CST is very much faster on AMD
Crafty is much faster on Pentium

AMD K6-3 is better to clearly better then K6-2
AMD K6-3 is about 125% faster vs Pentium (T Szub)

Athlon is about the same as AMD K6-3 for most chess-programs.
