> 1) So the average CPU can do arroung several GFLOPS Maybe 15 years ago. I think 200 - 1000 GFLOPs is common modern era CPU performance. A single core can do 32 floating point operations per clock cycle. Half that, if you don't count multiply accumulate as two ops. Drop another half if you want 64-bit floats.
