I don't think we have anywhere near enough evidence for anything more than a wild guess. There are several SMP chess engines that I know of: Commercial: Fritz Deep Junior Diep Not commercial: Crafty Amy Also alternative approaches like P.Conners which don't require SMP. Consider also Deep Blue. Is it a "Commercial Computer Chess" program? In 4 years, there will be 64 CPU Alpha machines with 20464's and terabytes of memory. Those will play chess rather well, if someone decides to compile for them. Now, tens of millions of dollars is outside the pocketbook of your average citizen, but that would be a potential commercial chess system.
