You cannot know because the difference in comp-comp games does not have to be
the same as comp-human games and I am also not sure that the difference in
comp-comp games is 100 points because the ssdf did not test the new hardware.

We can know the difference between p200 and K6-450 but we cannot know the
difference between k6-450 and better hardware because it is possible that there
is diminishing returns from hardware.

The fact that it is probably not the case with slow hardware does not prove that
it is also not the case with fast hardware.
