Feb, 2002 Rebel Century 4 on an AMD 1900+ plays an even match against GM Van Wely (Fide 2697, top 10 GM at the time) at 40/2. Score for Rebel is +2, 0, -2(no draws, all wins for both players were with the white pieces). It was an even match and on slower HW. I would agree the in this match the GM and computer are about even (but I like the comps chances if on 3Ghz machine, with programmer operating and latest s/w). I agree with one of your later posts that most GM's can play the comps close, but the advantage is now with the comps against most GM's at 40/2. Perhaps 40/3 would be better for the human GM's. A top 10 GM is about even on 2Ghz at 40/2, this will be a good match, in 18 months it will need to be a Top 5 GM at 40/2.
