Go up one level in this thread


>OK, it looks like I am the first to post benchmarks for a CYRIX 333 (2536) and
>aK6-2 300 (2546) for Rebel10. (which is a far cry from the estimated 2980)

The quick elo estimation at program start is not realistic anymore. It was at
Rebel8 times with Pc's till 120 Mhz. Note that the KryoTech 450 Mhz Pc as
used against Anand gave an elo rating near to 3400! :-)

I think the current bench mark with its maximum of 2600 gives a true picture
of Rebel10's playing strength against humans with an interval of +50/-50 based
at 40/2:00 level.

At blitz (5:00 + 0:05 Fischer) Rebel10 scored a TPR over 3000 elo against
Anand and even playing 15:00 minutes games at this high level seems to
be history. Remains the last step, the 40/2:00 challenge.

>In any case, at the same MHZ, Rebel10 seems to run approximately 20% faster on

>Does this mean that Ed is a true pessimist?  :)

No pessimism involved, I am a true realist :-)

>Ed, if you read this please also include option for K6-2 350, k6-2 380, K6-2
>400, and PII-450.

The bench page is currently under development. It will have my full
attention very soon. Thanks for input.
