Just my two cents,


Milos wrote:

First you have to understand a bit of computer architecture before making any analysis.

Actually first you need to learn a little bit that i7 architecture support SS42 versions,where SS42 does not work on older processors


Even SS42 versions do not work on my QX9650 architecture or on older machines too (including Pentium MMX 233)

Note also that 64-bit chess benchmarks provide/indicate more accurate measuring than Fritz Benchmarks
*Due to Fritz Benchmark is 32 bit tool

If you check the bellow results,you will notice what i mean:


Houdini 1.5a Benchmarks show that the hardware speed difference is x2,21
Code:
kN/s    Mate Processor              Speed  Cores L.P  EXE  Hardware User
19389   10s  Intel Core i7 980X     @4.33GHz  6  ON   x64  Sedat Canbaz
 8749   31s  Intel Extreme QX9650   @3.66GHz  4  ON   x64  Sedat Canbaz



Fritz Benchmarks show that difference is x1,82
Code:
Hardware-Processor        Speed      Cores     kN/s
Intel Core i7 980X      @ 4.33 GHz     6      18709
Intel Core 2 QX9650     @ 3.66 GHz     4      10253



Overall speed 2.21+1.82=4,03/2 = 2,015, that means i7 980X @4.33GHz is approx. two times faster than QX9650 @ 3.66 GHz

SCCT Auto232 Rating - Elo difference is approx.65-70 Elo:

Code:
Rank  Name                          Elo    +    -  games  score oppo. draws
 
   3 Houdini 2.0b Pro x64 6c        3410   17   17  1049   68%  3297   46%
   6 Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 6c          3352   16   15  1201   60%  3294   55%
   9 Houdini 2.0b Pro x64 4c        3340   17   17  1030   51%  3337   47%
  15 Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 4c          3286   14   13  1602   47%  3306   56%





More details,if you still have difficulties to understand me:


Houdini 1.5a Benchmarks show that the hardware speed difference is x37,26
Code:
kN/s    Mate Processor              Speed  Cores L.P  EXE  Hardware User
33504   12s  2x Intel Xeon X5667    @4.54GHz 12  ON   x64  Kim Burcham
899     524s  AMD Athlon 64 3400+     2.40GHz  1  OFF  w32  Sedat Canbaz



Fritz Benchmarks show that diffrence is x21,08
Code:
Hardware-Processor        Speed      Cores     kN/s
2x Intel Xeon X5667     @ 4.60 GHz    12      28827
AMD Athlon 64 3400+       2.40 GHz     1       1367

yes I would say around 2800 Elo, or more precisely 2750+/-50Elo (for Houdini on Intel Pentium MMX 233 assuming also a proper opening book).

Really ??? Believe me in case of such conditions,GMs of 2800 Elo will be performed approx. 150-200 Elo better than Houdini
I hope, you dont believe that Man vs Machine matches were not on Intel Pentium MMX 233 (in the early of 2000 years)

Milos wrote:

12 times higher NPS on 12 cores in reality means only 120Elo points compared to single core and all that only if SMP is done really good for the given engine.

Can you prove that ? but without comments next time please-i need serious data,testings by trusted sources

Best,
Sedat
