Phone cpus have gotten quite fast in the past decade, too.

Deep Blue analyzed some 200 million positions per second. Modern engines analyze a three to four orders of magnitude fewer nodes per second, but have much more refined pruning of the search space.

  • Point taken.

    Positions analyzed per $, per W and per watt-dollar are surely much, much higher, though ;)

  • 20 thousand positions per second is still a lot compared to a human though.
