Fritz3(p90) already did the IM norm in 1994.

Now even if you assume no pondering of more than 2 seconds Fritz3(p90) 180
seconds per move is equivalent to Fritz3(hardware that is 20 times faster) 9
seconds per move
and Fritz3(9 seconds per move) is probably at similiar level to top programs of
today (2 seconds per move)
