Go up one level in this thread


I'll contribute what I can, for what it's worth:

Using the test position posted....

Chess Tiger 15 (Palm Tungsten T, 1.5MB HT) - 390 NPS
Chess Tiger 15 (Pentium II 400MHz w/Win2K, 384MB RAM, 96MB HT} - 82,000 NPS


On the Tungsten T, CT15 runs under PACE and runs at the same speed as it does on
a 33MHz palm device.  This isn't just "the word on the street" - I can vouch for
this, as TigerMark (CT's built in benchmark) displayed the same score on my m505
as it does on my Tungsten.  I cannot test overclocking since I no longer have my
m505.  When we can see how well it runs with some ARM code depends on
Christophe.  ;)

Since similar engines are not available for Pocket PC and Palm, then the
comparison can't exactly be scientific - but if it helps, I tested that position
on my PC with Ruffian (96MB HT) and achieved 185,500 NPS

(hmmn, interestingly enough, despite the fact that Ruffian was more than "twice
as fast" - CT15 was well into 14 ply depth before the minute was up, Ruffian
only in the middle of 12.  Mind you, that doesn't necessarily mean anything
either.)
