Thanks a lot. Comparing your Intel Core i7 5960X with the old 2004 Pentium 4, single thread performance: Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz ... 2529 Intel Pentium G3258 @ 3.20GHz ... 2172 Intel Core i7-5960X @ 3.00GHz ... 1991 Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.80GHz ... 824 Intel Atom 230 @ 1.60GHz ... 238 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html Vector processors like the Cray-2 are very awesome and had huge amounts of main memory. We will see nVidia does with their GPUs and AMD does with their APUs that works great already in PS4/XB1. (MIPS and GFLOPS measurements depend on the benchmark implementation and the used language/compiler/etc.; and they show unrealistic PEAK results, rather than real world performance) LINPACK benchmarks (Fortran based) is better than MIPS AND GFLOPS too, "The performance measured by the LINPACK benchmark consists of the number of 64-bit floating-point operations, generally additions and multiplications, a computer can perform per second, also known as FLOPS. However, a computer's performance when running actual applications is likely to be far behind the maximal performance it achieves running the appropriate LINPACK benchmark" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINPACK_benchmarks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINPACK_benchmarks
