I wrote somewhere that if they took a "Blue Gene" machine and put 64000 of Hsu's new chips in it, it would play "pretty decent chess." If we simply scale up the 200M NPS by a thousand we get 200 billion nodes per second. If you really could build that machine it would be pretty interesting. However, just considering the component count and size of the machine you will see that it would be expensive to build, program and operate. I don't think we will ever see such a beast.
