Can a modern chess engine running on a 1996 Pentium beat 1996 Kasparov?

AI summary

Nicholas Carlini ported Stockfish to 1996 hardware—a 200 MHz Intel Pentium Pro with 64MB of memory—and estimates its classical time-control Elo at 3300 ± 87, far above Kasparov's roughly 2800. The experiment shows that of the +1335 Elo improvement of the modern engine over 1996 Crafty, about +720 comes from algorithmic and programming improvements rather than hardware. The engine played 100 games against 1996 Crafty on modern hardware, scoring 78 wins, 17 draws, and 5 losses.
