You cannot learn of the calculation power by the number of nodes per second because the number of nodes per second is different with different programs even if you use the same machine. You can learn better about it if you give the 2 hardware the same problem(for example finding all the primes numbers that are not more than 99999999999999) and compare the times with the same program. The calculation power is also not the only important thing and the software is also important. There is no way to compare between the software of deeper blue and the software of Fritz because deeper blue is dead and does not play so we cannot do games between Fritz and Deeper blue when we give Fritz more time to compensate for the hardware disadvantage.
