No doubt, but history has shown that Chess programs have evolved quite linearly in terms of speed. I don't see that slowing down with the upcoming advancements, nor do I see specialty chess boards catching up. nVidia and ATI have shown that specialty boards can provide amazing results, but the interest in computer chess is like 1/100000th of 3d performance, therefore, the money isn't there to entice big budget consumer boards that would play chess better than a PC using just it's CPU/RAM and a top notch program. >Yes, except that AMD and Intel couldn't care less about how fast their chips run >chess software: they want their chips to be fast at server applications and >multimedia.
