Wouldn't that be "beräkningskraft"?
- alkonaut 7y agoSince he said "flyskam" and not "flygskam" I'm guessing this is a Norwegian person. Yes in Swedish it's processorkraft or beräkningskrfat.

- arghwhat 7y agoOh, and actually... (insert appropriate meme) "Processorkraft" means "processor power", and "beräkningskraft" ("beregningskraft" in Danish) translates to "computing power". The correct Swedish translation for "processing power" is "bearbetningskraft"/"behandlingskraft". This sounds a bit awkward to my Danish ear, however. In Danish, apart from "bearbejdningskraft"/"behandlingskraft", we also have "processeringskraft", which is a normal term. This may also work non-awkwardly in Swedish, but hard to sway without a Swedish ear. They are of cause all commonly used interchangeably, but they have subtle differences in their literal meanings.
- arghwhat 7y agoYes, in Swedish. I'm Danish, though, so felt more comfortable making a Danish example. I also felt that many might not understand just how incredibly close our languages are, and that adding the language I used to the comment would likely distract from the point as a result.
