I don't think that it would be necessary for the SSDF to double the speed of their hardwares, since it is too easy to add 50 Elo rating points to the actual rating List, making Shredder 7.0 2818 ?! I don't think that the SSDF positively reflect the ratings of the top programs in comparison to Humans FIDE rating, since it took Deep Fritz7 a very powerful multi processing system to equal Kramnik's performance, therefore, it would be ridiculous to assign a 2818 rating to shredder 7.0 by simply doubling the current speed. http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?298137
