It depends how heavy program's evaluation function is...

For program with light evaluation it's probably only 2 elo points.
For program with very heavy evaluation it might be even 10 elo points.

Stockfish gains around 4-5 elo points.


how heavy ? light evaluation +2 elo ?

i think its depends on how often you are using the popcount in the evaluation.


If we are just talking popcnt() I don't believe the gain is significant. If we are talking about the full-blown SSE4.2 stuff, there is potential gain there since that provides extra 64 bit registers and a pipeline that can help...

My first test on Nehlem was not very convincing. It _might_ have improved Crafty's speed by a couple of percentage points, no more. But I have taken great pains to avoid popcnt() whenever practical by pre-computing things like mobility scores...
