Crafty on a quad xeon is doing about 700K nodes per second. Cray Blitz is doing 7M nodes per second. That is 10X, which is very hard to overcome. Cray Blitz also has some evaluation things that I can do with vector hardware cheaply, but which I can't do in normal scalar machines because of the cost. But even if knowledge was equal, 10x is murder, speed-wise.
