Yes, I also remember that the 1st MMX Pentium had been clocked with 166 MHz. > >For Tiger the P166MMX was running as fast as a P200 (which has never existed, so >it's like twice the speed of a P100). > >On the SSDF list, Comet A90 P200MMX 64Mb hash is rated 2253. How does it compare >to the Comet version Jorge is using? Well, that's already several years ago. I think, it's very conservative to assume that the current version on P166MMX is above 2300 (probably clearly above). Meanwhile, I expect that CTP can win a few games in this match. My impression is that CTP will be able to exploit some situations where Comet's eval directs the engine into the wrong direction. I'm inclined to think that it doesn't matter too much in these cases if the hardware advantage is a factor of 10 or 50. Seems to me, that these computer games on very asymmetric hardware obey to their own laws. This match could become more interesting than I'd thought. We'll see. Anyway, the Tiger sells its skin as expensive as possible - even on a Palm. Quite impressive ! Perhaps, we should also test how Shredder will do on a Athlon against CTP ? -:) Greetings, Uli > > > > Christophe
