Subject: Benchmarking P5 CPUs in chem. computing?

Dear all,

recently, there were some postings to CCL on benchmarking Pentium Pro
vs. RISC stations - in general and at chemical computations, in particular.
Most interesting, there appeared a difference between SPECfp and
some chem-related ratings.

However, does anybody benchmarked somewhat light-weight machines
with respect to chemical computing - preferrably, mol. mechanics / dynamics?

I mean comparison of Intel Pentiums 133-200 MHz with AMD-Cyrix versions
of P5-class processors (particularly CyrixP166+,P200+ ; the question
is very practical as non-Intels are sufficiently cheaper...).

I'll summarize if there is considerable interest.

Best regards,
Igor
