That is a tough >disadvantage to overcome... 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.
