No question about it.
At the half-way point, an 8-way AMD 64 bit box gets a significant chunk of it
(about 10% of Deep Blue's best burst rate IIRC).

with 5 more doublings, that would give 1.6x Deep Blue's full tilt, max
throughput.  Of course that is for bleeding edge.  A high-end workstation will
be about on par with Deep Blue, I would think.

Probably, a very excellent estimate by Don (I don't think you could guess closer
in terms of years -- 9 years and not yet, 11 years and enormously faster.)
