7 bits of precision.... or 2.1 decimal digits. So not quite as good as a 6-inch slide rule. Edit: voters in this thread seem pretty uptight.

- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoWhat would be the wattage of a typical six inch slide performing calculations as quickly as a top-of-the-line Intel microchip? Or if it would be physically impossible because of speed of light considerations, what would be the wattage of n slide rules in parallel performing such computations such that it adds up to the throughput of a microchip? Speaking of boiling the ocean . . .
