Is our stockfish 8 better than a powerful 2008 version of Rybka?

When I was younger lets say 10-15 years back I would play against chess computers a lot. There was a technique I would usually try to go for. You get yourself into a very closed position like I played here. The machine refuses to draw to a 50 move rule, and will make a bad pawn break. It did kinda sac one pawn in that fashion in this game, but wouldn't sac any more.

Here is a good example of Nakamura doing exactly what I said I was going for... but it wouldn't get itself on the hook.

If I went against Naka, he would absolutely destroy me I'd be very happy if I got 1 draw in 50 games.

Would I be able to draw or beat the computer naka played here though?
