It is clear that we are talking about more than difference of 1%.

The new version is going to win against the old version even if the hardware is
1% slower.

It is also clear that if the hardware is 1% faster you do not get more than 1
elo rating and you need more than 100000 games to get significant results.

I guess that the meaning is that Fritz7 is about 50 elo stronger than the
previous version on the same hardware.
