There are very few standard 64 bit benchmarks. The battle WILL be won on 32 bit.

Even if you ran the 32-bit version, though, the chess benchmark
was still half of what it should have been. If you just download
the stock executable from the chess site and ran it you got
better numbers.

Is Anand's first name Kristopher?

But its pretty clear that Intel has fairly good 64 bit performance from these benchmarks.

It is?

Perhaps you haven't kept up with the "evolution" of the results:

(which of course, compare ONE Nocona 3.6 to ONE Newcastle 3500+)

Lame: tie
Gzip (32bit??): tie
Pov-Ray: Nocona almost 40% slower
MySql: Nocona 4-11% slower
primegen: BOGUS, spends 75% of the time in putchar()
super_pi: BOGUS, no source code, unknown bitness, unknown optimizations.
TSCP: Noncona 25% slower
ubench: BOGUS? Buggy code noted by another review. Ancient codebase.
Encryption("John the Ripper"): completely BOGUS -- hand-tuned assembly for "Intel"-named cpus only.

So, where do you find *any* support for your claim?
