I think i am missing something important or we all are? those chips were supposed to be 200Mhz PowerPC's in Deep Blue wouldn't they use the same but faster in DB2? For a 20 or 24Mhz chip at .60 Microns to perform a millions of nodes per second you would have to have a RISC design and be at .10 then you would need more than i can figure as far as i can tell at 20Mhz if it were like a regular chip in a home computer it would be running at 10,000 Nodes per second (on my 500Mhz P3 i get tops 400Knps i figure on a 100Mhz you would get 50Knps and on 50Mhz you would get 40Knps and on a 20Mhz you would get 10Knps)but that's just it it's not a regular chip it Only runs a chess program see what i am saying that is just too big so without saying much further we need a real comparison actual results with the "Chess Specific chip " We can't compare a Quad Xeon which does millions of calculations to keep widows from crashing, the taskbar running, time of day, Kernel32.dll, yadda yadda. The processors we have in our computers are not even 50% efficient probably not even that when it comes to something that is designed to do 1 thing and do it really really well. So probably if our computers were doing one thing at their .18 or even .60microns they would be hitting millions of nodes per second if not 1 billion. But this is just my guess as i am not an engineer.
