Komodo 8: First gauntlet under Android

I've just finished a quick bullet gauntlet with Komodo 8 Android vs 4 top engines of my BLITZOID ranking. Looks like Komodo 8 is number 2 after Stockfish but not a serious chaser.

I'm a little bit surprised to face a gap bigger than expected. Even the "dusty" Critter 1.6a easily stood still against the new Komodo.

Below results are not calibrated in order to give just an idea of the gaps and a rough impression about Komodo's level of improvement against Stockfish especially. Thus i can't yet defend Komodo 8 is around 3130 ELO vs 3264 ELO of Stockfish.

These are just bullet games at 1 sec/move yet. I think at 30 sec/move things may slightly be different. Maybe in favor of Komodo...

To my side, i'll be waiting for the first release of RAPIDROID ranking to tell more.
