Book moves (see other thread) hardware not being 8x and who >knows what else. You talk like trying to find excuses for the Hydra's loses. Even if Hydra don't use 8 x 2.8 Intel Xeon but a 4 x 2.8 Intel Xeon, i could not say this is a disadvantage as a quad is already better than most computers out there. Anyway i don't say Hydra is a little strong or not strong and in fact i believe it is on the same level with the others, but also i believe if it would be tested by SSDF on a regular PC, i think it would end below Shredder 8 and Deep Fritz 8. All this of course are just speculations. I hope in the NEAR future Hydra cards become commercial. They have for sure one customer.
