There is contradictory information on this. Hsu was finally pinned down on the issue and it turned out that the 1 billion NPS figure is a theoretical peak.

Of course, it is the latter figure that is most useful, but the 1 billion figure was tailor made for hyperbole. > >>Mmm: I guess the usual discussion will start but this seems hype to me. >>However, it confirms that the 'DEEP_BLUE' is still taken as the 'SI unit' of >>computer chess. > >It's the stuff that legends are made of.
