A big part of deep blue's power was not it's raw computation
ability, but the fact that it had chess-specific hardware, so, for
example, they could stuff a lot of factors in the positional
evaluation and not slow it down.  It is quite possible that a machine
would have to be vastly faster than deep blue in other areas to
even match it in chess.
