Each SP2 had to feed several processors, so you are already contradicting
yourself here. Whether or not the SP2 can keep up depends directly on how
many chess chips it's talking to.

I can futher quote from the paper that they couldn't generate enough
parallelism in the early iterations to all chips busy, but you
have the paper as well, so you already know that.
