I don't think that +60 will >be true for games vs humans, however. It might be 1/2 of that or even less. Is this true regardless of what XXX is? To rephrase, while going from 350 megahertz to 700 might yield a 60-point elo bonus, would going from 1 gigahertz to 2 gigahertz also yield 60 points? And what about a hypothetical 2 gigahertz to 4 gigahertz? Isn't there a horizon effect whereby the elo gain diminishes?
