It is not truth that Fritz is 10 times faster than Hiarcs
You can be sure that if you give Hiarcs 10 minutes per position and you give
Fritz 1 minute per position than hiarcs will be clearly better in tactics(I am
not talking about positional understanding).

Fritz is calculating more nodes per second but it is irrelevant because the
question is the time you need to see tactics and not the number of nodes per
seconds

I suggest you to ignore chessbase  notes because they are misleading
