EeEk(* DM) kibitzes: kib question from Frantic: According to what was published DB was evaluating 200 million positions per second (vs 2.5 to 5 million for the 8-way Simmons server running Deep Fritz). How fast would be Beep Blue today if the project continued? CrazyBird(DM) kibitzes: it contains a few reference at the end of the book for the more technically inclined. CrazyBird(DM) kibitzes: if we redo the chip in say, 0.13 micron, and with a improved architecture, it should be possible to do one billion nodes/sec on a single chip. CrazyBird(DM) kibitzes: so a trillion nodes/sec machine is actually possible today. If the cost is not that high maybe Hsu should make ala chessmachine that can be plug into computers (assuming that he has no legal obligation from ibm) The desktop pc is a long way from hiting 1billion nodes/sec. I think most of the professional chessplayers and serious chess hobbyist will buy. He can easily get 1 million orders. 1 billion nodes/sec, mmm....:)
