Subject: Cray Blitz - Ratings of the past false? Or are Current ones false ??

After Cray Blitz won the 1983 World Computer Chess championship it's rating was
2153. The Cray supercomputer from that time is still much faster than today's
PC's ever dreamed of being yet Cray Blitz's rating was much lower than todays PC
programs. In another post here, Robert Hyatt mentioned that Cray Blitz would
beat Crafty based on hardware. So I guess my conclusion here is that either the
rating of 2153 back in 1983 for Cray Blitz was way off or the estimated rating
of Crafty and other current PC's are way off. In my opinion, Cray Blitz running
on a Cray Supercomputer would still blow away any of the current programs
running on any PC today. I guess I have to think that the rating of 2153 was WAY
off. Any other opinions?
