I've noticed a rating increase from the Pentium 90 MHz to the P200 MMX (as expected). This implies that a doubling of the speed (plus bus improvements, minus hash table changes, etc.) results in approximately 70 points in increased rating as per the derived chart below (these being based on a x2.2). Inc. Program 87 Hiarcs 6.0 82 Rebel 9.0 70 Rebel 8.0 91 MChess Pro 6.0 69 Genius 5.0 DOS Does anyone have a more detailed list of this type of information? How do the non-commercial programs fair in this regard? Is there any sort of curve associated with this from previous years (i.e. is the rate of this increase decreasing from previous years/earlier processors, or is the rate of increase remaining somewhat constant)? Has anyone done any work in increasing the time per move in order to emulate future processor types? Robert Hyatt has mentioned in a earlier post that on his quad, Crafty is running at approximate 1600 Mhz equivalence. Does this mean that Crafty run there is about 210 points higher (8x faster = 2^3 or 3x rating point increase) in rating strength than Crafty running on a P200 MMX? Or is the rating difference considerably less than that? Thanks KarinsDad
