Doesn't it? If the SSDF results are supposed to give some sort of rating depending on the strengt of the programs/computer/whatever, I don't see why testing 200mmx vs. 90 don't give any usefull information. It's basicly the same as having a stronger player play a week one. The stronger side have more to loose, and little to gain. It's probably like beeing in a world of IM's, and suddenly a bunch of GM's turns up beating the crap out of the IM's. Should we then stop testing IM's against GM's? :) An other thing might be that the rating difference between the P90's and the P200mmx's are too close, but that will even out as more games are played.
