And apparently incorrect, at least for G98; the site now has a
retraction.  The K7 CHARMM numbers aren't that impressive either-- if I
scale the P3 result to the 600 Mhz clock speed for the K7, I get an est. 
612 sec, instead of the reported 642 sec.

The GROMACS programm has very nice webpage with benchmarks
http://rugmd0.chem.rug.nl/~gmx/gmxbench.html, and K7 and P3 results are
included for the same CPU clock speed (runtime in seconds):

Machine    Compiler   CPU Clock Cache SPC1 SPC2 Pep Micel HIV  HPr 

PC AMD     gcc        K 7  600   512    -  42   136  303  267  331  
PC Intel   gcc      P III  600   512   26  54   174  366  307  401  

As you can see at least in case of C code compiled with gcc K7 wins with
P3 on average by 20%
