How Fast Is This?


Recommended Posts

can someone explain to me in layman's terms how fast this thing works....in respect to my 900Mhz sony with 128 ram?

heh heh heh...forgot to put the link.....

I could be wrong, but I calculate it would be 230,333.3 times quicker.

EDIT--

(I divided 207,300,000,000,000 by 900,000,000.)

One MHz represents one million cycles per second. 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

well thank you medab1....that makes perfect sense......I think....I can't even count that high.

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.
