Subject: Old computers vs new computers

 Hello all,

   For fun i have been playing a match between two computers using rs232
both using Hiarcs7.32

 One computer is an PIII 800 with 128 MBRAM
 the other    is an old 486 DX-2 100 MHZ with 32 mb EDO

 the PIII generates about 70-100k Nodes per second
 the 486 does about 1-3k nodes per second

 The PIII is up on games 8.5-.5 but the interesting thing is that
the 486 actually holds its own until about move 30-40.

  I also played a few manual games with genius 4.0 and it lasted even longer

I wonder if 7-8 years from now we can expect the same difference ie.
the computers running H732 will generate about 60X more nodes or will search
4200-6000knodes per second.


hmmm
