According to the latest SSDF rating list, 10/27/00, the number 16 and 17 programs had an average rating of 2475 (16. Fritz 5.32 64MB P200 MMX 2476, and 17. Hiarcs 7.32 64MB P200 MMX 2473). When we go up a generation in microprocessor, double the size of the hash table, double + the speed, then the same two programs now have an average rating of 2541, an increase of 66 points (5. Fritz 5.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2552 , and 9. Hiarcs 7.32 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2530). The number 1 and 2 programs had an average rating of 2611 (1. Fritz 6.0 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2630, and 2. Junior 6.0 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2592) If we once again go up a generation in microprocessor to Pent III, or AMD Athlon, double the size of the hash table to 256MB, and double + the speed to 1,000 MHz, should we expect an increase in average rating or around 66 points to 2677 or thereabouts? My more basic question is have we reached the point in computer chess programming where the programs can play at the super elite level, 2700+, if they can run fast enough or have multi processors re Deep Junior with 4 processors which appears to now play at the super elite level. Can more be done with programming? Obviously, re Deep Blue we can use brute force and play at or near world champion level. I am not asking about that level of hardware. Thanks!
