Years ago uP sites like Toms Hardware, using some old versions of some chess program like Fritz I imagine, would publish how many nodes of a chess tree a particular microprocessor would analyze. But I have Fritz 13 and I don't think (I could be wrong) there's such a function.
Is there a program somewhere that will tell you how many chess nodes you are processing at any given time for a particular microprocessor? Maybe both an average #nodes/second as well as the total number of nodes for any given time?
Maybe as a second best answer if somebody would please post a table that shows, for a generic but competent chess engine like Crafty, how many nodes are processed for different microprocessors, including (if possible) old PC uPs like a 32 bit OS run by a 486, Pentium I, Pentium II, Pentium IV?

What program can count chess nodes per second? Total nodes?

Most if not all interfaces display nps. nps = nodes per second.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for? 23020 kN/s means 23 million nodes/second.

@ Ronald de Man- yes, I found Nodes per second in Arena, it was one of the boxes unmarked.
@ mvk (Marcel van Kervinck) - thanks very much, if you know of any even older PC lists, let us know.
