Subject: The RISC Chip And Chess Programs

The Novag Star Diamond is advertized as follows:

* Estimated Rating: 2400-2550 at 40 moves in 2 hours.

* Advanced SH7034 RISC processor with 1M program memory and 256K working area,
running at 20 MHz.

  The 2400-2550 rating is equal to the ratings at SSDF of programs running on
450 MHz Pentium chips.  Does the RISC chip run 22.5 times faster than the
pentium chip?  Would a RISC processor running at 450 MHZ be equal to a pentium
running at 10 GHz?  If the RISC chip is that much faster why could one not run
an operating system with that chip?

One last question.  Would anyone know who the programmer is behind the Novag
Star Diamond?
