Computer v human in chess was popular in the 70-90s but they later stopped having them. Did computers become too powerful?

Will a human ever be able to beat a modern CPU, like an i7 with a chess program loaded on it?
Has anyone beat a computer in chess after 2009?

that doesn't make any sense really, the CPU does not determine how hard it is going to be, the software decides that.

That said, humans can beat the computer, but depending on the software, it can be programmed to an unbeatable level. Computers have not become too powerful, it's just that rarely anybody plays them anymore, therefore nobody wastes their time in something that won't do well.

Actually Alpha Zero and Leela have both nailed the coffin lid shut on humans beating a computer. And BOTH of those neural network AI's run on GPU's! There are quite a few games heavily analysed on youtube from Alpha Zero and Leela.

However, AMD's Threadripper and Rome EPYC will make commercially available software such as Houdini and Stockfish extremely strong as very deep searches can be performed in a matter of seconds, what used to take several minutes on a 4 core 8 thread cpu just two years ago!!
