FLOPs is probably not a very sensible measure for measuring hardware from 1985, nothing had FPUs back then. Umm...the Intel 8087 was '80 or '81, and it was AFAIK the most popular PC upgrade after memory. The 68881 was '84. My NS32081s have '84 datecodes but came out earlier. The Am9511/C8231 were mid to late 70s and all over the 8-bitters. Weitek had 3rd party solutions for 68k, x86 and lots of others in this timeframe, and MMI was pitching the 74S516 for the 68k early 80s. Almost everything had an FPU option in 1985.
