Yes, that’s correct. It is slightly off because I manually set the year 2022 to match 100,000 kNodes/s. That could be adjusted by one year. To get an engine which begins its journey right in the year 2021, we could perform a similar experiment with SF14. The curve would be virtually identical, just shifted to the right and up.
We’re on SF14 now. Stockfish didn’t even have neural net evaluation until SF12 I think.
I just checked, and SF8 is from 2016. So still slightly off, but makes more sense.
