Go up one level in this thread


Hello All
so, with the following information (thanks Bo)

>Double the speed, maybe +50 ELO points?

Deep Blue
>200M NPS
>
>>compared
>>with today speed (nodes/second ??)
>
Today computers:

>1-2M for normal PCs, 3M for 8 processor servers.
>

Lets say we have normal PC with 2.2M (nodes/second). So, we expect
2.1NPS*2^6 = 140 NPS and 2.1NPS*2^7=280 NPS. So, today PCS should increase about
 or 7 times to get 200M NPS !!. This is the first conclusion.

So, since 200M NPS are about 6 or 7 "doubles", we can expect deepblue to have
6*50 to 7*50 rating points ahead todays PC. So, this is about 300-350 points.
SSF presents a lot of programs with 2600. So, DeepBlue is about 2950 !!! This is
too crazy for me...please, help ME !!!
