- SilasX 9y agoIf you equate a binary gate operation with an instruction, then that's 50 instructions per second, which compares to UNIVAC's 2000 IPS (0.002 MIPS). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second#Timeline_of_instructions_per_second https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second#Timeli... Of course, an op on a single bit is still far short of a CPU instruction, AIUI. You gotta start somewhere though!
