The question is how much this amounts to. Let's call the hardware 16 times
faster, how much faster will Crafty be when running on both of them? So far I
have only seen NPS comparisons reported but no time-to-ply comparisons. Do you
think you will get more than 10 times faster performance out of the faster
hardware?

With 10 times faster you'd only have sth like maybe 200-250 Elo difference (
simplified) by hardware.
