This is quite an interesting statement from the Fritz team!

  Friedel(Fritz operator) explained that while Deep Blue searched 200 million
positions per second compared to Deep Fritz's 3-4 million, much of Deep Blue's
parallel searching was wasted as many of its dozens of chips were looking at the
same thing. "Another important difference is that Deep Fritz is a commercial
product while Deep Blue was running on a supercomputer and 15 million dollars
were invested by IBM in the project. But Fritz is definitely not weaker than
Deep Blue," he concluded.
