Thanks I do not think that there are at least 180 points difference because of the following reasons: 1)The difference against humans is not identical to the difference against computers. 2)Even in comp-comp the difference may be less than 180 elo because of diminishing returns from deeper search. We do not know if there is significant diminishing returns from deeper search because it was never tested in these speeds. We know that at small depth there is not significant diminishing returns but things may be different at high depthes and it is possible that the difference in comp-comp games between 450 Mhz and 8*700 Mhz is only 100 elo. The only way to know is testing. Uri
