Tony Hedlund has a list of Man vs. Machine results:

The performances <2500 elo are mostly from very old engine versions on outdated
CPUs.

I think, a good example is the Tiger performance of that Argentine tournament
(in comp-comp, Tiger 14 is very close to Fritz' performance). That was 2788 on
866 MHz, against "medium" GMs /IMs. If the opponents are skilled in anticomputer
chess, computer performance will be somewhat less... but I wouldn't expect much
less than 2600.

In a recent match (but with shorter time controls, 60m+10s), GM Smirin beat some
progs running on 2*1 GHz duals or on 2.2 GHz, 5-3. I didn't calculate the
computer's elo performance exactly, but it is >2600 (Smirin is ~2700 elo). In a
previous similar event, GM Gulko (2605 elo) lost 3-5. Probably humans can do a
bit better in tournament time controls, but not very much better IMO.

If I would have to guess, I'd say >2500 in each case, very likely above 2600.
The CT 14 results indicates it.

(It won't matter much, which of the top programs it is, against humans. For
example, Smirin beat Shredder with a copy of a Fritz loss.)
