I wonder how much stronger today’s top programs can get without using faster hardware. It possible for these programs to get significantly better on current hardware? If not, there may be some comfort in this: Assuming a) comps continue to double in speed every 1.5 years, and b) that represents a gain of about 50 elo points, A program rated 2400 on today’s PC hardware would reach an elo of 3000 in 20 years _ that is, the year 2022 _ with no improvements made to the software whatsoever. That should be enough to beat any human on the planet rather convincingly.
