bearskin Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) can someone explain to me in layman's terms how fast this thing works....in respect to my 900Mhz sony with 128 ram?http://www.physorg.com/news70294725.htmlheh heh heh...forgot to put the link.....

JDoors Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Would that be that thing over there, or the other one over there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pierce Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 everything is relitive, without contextuality its unlimitedly faster, and slower at the same timeo.OPierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkestDream Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 nothing new, every year, they always do this to be in top... sigh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 207.3 trillion floating-point operations per second (teraFLOPS) Finally! A computer that can run Vista! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The speed of microprocessors, called the clock speed, is measured in megahertz. For example, a microprocessor that runs at 900 MHz executes 900 million cycles per second.Teraflop- A trillion floating point operations per second Edited June 25, 2006 by medab1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcl Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 (I divided 207,300,000,000,000 by 900,000,000.)A PIII can perform two FP ops per cycle. In the real world it won't sustain that rate for any length of time, but still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
