Thank you for that link, Ive been subconsciously holding off on assuming there was a compute / predictive power correlation even though it seems natural. But it would probably be dangerously naïve to have assumed that connection. Anyway good for us! Go humans! (computers)

Glad you found it useful.

A small caveat, though: The correlation is linear with the logarithm of compute. So here's hoping Moore's law & friends live on a tad longer!

And a somewhat unrelated fun fact: The authors surprisingly found the lowest correlation between compute and the performance in the domain of Go (and not the real world). Although the data is very sparse, I suspect that it's due to algorithmic advances.
