Comment on Intel introduces 3-GHz desktop chip (2002)

Comments

Cool. Back then there still were articles about a new faster desktop CPU! Today, whenever there's news about a CPU, it's about some other low power mobile whatever thing that is not faster. Yawn.

I wonder: what ratio of FLOPs would you get, between this chip, and an array of "low power mobile whatever thing"s adding up to an equivalent power-draw?

Surely DSPs or GPUs achieve the best FLOPs per watt.

I would be interested in the numbers.
