I forgot to add an important information for people compiling themselves.

Thx Daylen, I will use the 64bit "Intel" POP for the IPON in a few minutes!

The official Linux 64 build reports elapsed times that are out by a factor of 1000.

The http://abrok.eu/stockfish/ compile is okay.

Just me then? The errors were using stockfish-3-64-ja

Just downloaded from the Stockfish site, and all the 4 x64 exes give this

On my Phenom II X6 in terms of the bench output:

The AMD popcnt exe is dead slow, no-one in their right mind would use that. The standard AMD exe is the fastest for me, closely followed by the Intel popcnt exe. But I'm really sceptical of the "bench" output, in the past the relative reported speeds from the Shredder GUI have been radically different.

The auto-compile is still 3% faster...

Hi Ray,

Thanks the report. I think is was justified to include the AMD version as there are still quite a few Phenom owners out there who will gain a performance boost.
I'll forget about doing a AMD popcount version in future (just dig a hole for the popcount version and bury it) .

Jim.

Ahh, good to know. Thats how much? 2 or 3 Elo?

I use the OFFICIAL one which will be used by 99% of the users.

On my Phenom II X6, the standard AMD64 exe is faster then the Intel popcnt exe.
