Well,a 64bits machine still is nothing ! For the game of Go for example i then would like to see a 361 bits machine :) Presuming people in ComputerGo would be willing to program with bitboards; guess not. Maybe for parts of the board, but thats not good enough; for example, there exists an excellent 'life and death' program which is very good in Go 'tactics'; but only on small board, not the official 19 * 19 board. More generally, in artificial intelligence one needs to translate certain knowledge and know-how to a stupid computer, whether its in chess, go, translating, face-recognition, or whatever. Now as the hardware capabilities still increase at a fast rate every decade and probably will continue, imho the question is not who is able to 'hack' the fastest (assembler||bitboard & Intel||AMD) optimized code, but how to develop software tools to enable people to convert complicated human knowledge and knowhow to a stupid thing as a computer. Obviously this will take a lot of time and scientific effort but will achieve more results in AI in future; this irrespectively of asking ourselves who is a good programmer or not, which in fact is quite irrelevant, best regards jefk
