I have searched the net and cannot find anything about how AMD's 64bit chips perform in chess engines. a chess board is 8x8 64 squares. Pretty much all chess engines have to use the long long function to send 64-bit operations to the processor. I assume that with AMD's 64-bit, the performance should increase dramatically (2-fold?).
edit: specifically I am curious about crafty, the best opensource engine out there. Designed after the engine on Cray's supercomputers.
