What Hsu did was build a platform in hardware and software that could be updated and still outperform anything else, today. Only Brutus and a very few others have made a promising stab at creating such a potent combination. Hardware + software, done well, will always be better than software alone in CC. (No, I'm not saying it will win every game, but if the software is equal, the hardware will carry the day. The price tag will be more, of cour$e.) David
