> It's almost certainly best just to compare TFLOPS Depends on what you're comparing with what, and the context, of course. Casey is doing education, so that people learn how best to program these devices. A mere comparison of TFLOPS of CPU vs GPU would be useless towards those ends. Similarly, just a bare comparison of TFLOPS between different GPUs even of the same generation would mask architectural differences in how to in practice achieve those theoretical TFLOPS upper bounds. I think Casey believes most people don't know how to program well for these devices/architectures. In that context, I think it's appropriate to be almost dismissive of TFLOPS comparison talk.
