I was not comparing the architecture of the hardware, what I am trying to point
out is that given the calculating power of the two different systems, there is a
ratio of a least 200 to 1. Therefore, the advantage of using a system which is
capable of calculating 200 times faster, simply indicate that Deep Blue Software
was not really superior to Deep Junior, but the advantage of its calculating
power will make any top Commercial software rates by SSDF play like a super GM.
