In London. No, nowhere as fast as that...
It is maybe a little faster than Rebel 9, but much slower than Fritz 5 on P2
machines. Much closer to R9 than to F5.
On AMD I do not know, and Rebel loves AMD.
One way of estimating nps is to see how fast hash tables fill up (many programs
give you data on this). I believe all programs use comparable storage space per
hashed position. OF COURSE there are other variables involved - which have the
effect of determining what % of examined nodes get hashed.

Not in speed anyway.
