Which folds fastest? p4 or Athlon?

Which CPU folds fastest?

I'm not concerned with IPC and MHz, I just want to know which CPU folds the fastest. A p4 3.2GHz, or an Athlon 3200+ (2.2GHz)? (since those are the top of the line CPUs
from the two camps, w/out going nutty and spending tons of money on an Athlon64 or a p4EE.)

Also, I'm talking about using -advmethods and -forceasm, that way the p4 isn't completely crippled and the Athlon gets a very healthy boost too.

I'm sure this might have been addressed before but I didn't find it.

that's a good question.

I venture to say it would be the P4...

I guess... p4. But I would not call myself a f@h expert. I'm just assuming that having 2 instances of f@h running at once would be more efficient. But i could be way wrong.

It's been a while since I've seen someone pull that one.

Now I'm rolling.;D ;D ;D

Thrax keeps changing his post ;D

I've seen three versions now!

the p4 folds faster only by virtue of hyperthreading... but who really cares, i'd rather have an athlon
