This is very hard to estimate. Best case would be over 32M nodes per second, _if_ the machine scales reasonably well. Worst case would be well below that, but still incredibly fast. > >B) What would Crafty's estimated ELO be at ICC ?? If it could really do 32M, it would probably be 500 points higher than the highest rated player that would play it. Computers would find it nearly impossible to beat, using normal hardware. > >C) Can you take a guess at the cost of one of these fully loaded machines, the >price is not given and I am curious. I'd guess somewhere breaking into 7 figures... I don't know either. But it would definitely be very pricey... Box does look very good...
