That engine was by Dan Spracklen. The CM4000-6000 engines by De Koenig are much
stronger but they are selective search engines as opposed to the full width
search engine of CM3000. Of course the strength is determined to alrge degree on
the speed of the computer. Taken from the SSDF list see below.
30 Chessmaster 4000 486/50-66 MHz          2293   34   -33   462   66%  2173
121 Chessmaster 3000  386/25-33 MHz         1932   68   -74   103   36%  2030
Thus the CM3000 engine is weaker. I would say 200-250 points weaker.
