The first runner-up (DEC Alpha 21264) has to have eight symmetric CPUs (at 750MHz each) to get up to even half of the dual 1GHz's results.
I find it especially interesting that the Pentium 4 is outclassed by the Pentium 3 in these tests. I suppose it might be because the RC5 test app isn't compiled using the long-pipeline P4 optimizations. If it had been, I have to imagine it would have beaten the P3; but I don't know where else it would have placed.
Sure, it's just one test. But I still take it as a pretty good sign.
