I don't call my quad core desktop a 12 GHZ computer, and for good reason; there is no 12 GHz clock on it. Call it a X Teraflop peak capacity system, but please, don't call it a 2.5 THz computer, it's misleading and not helpful.
- cleverjake 13y agoUnless I missed something, it doesnt - it says >> cluster has 2,574GHZ of processing power Which is true. It has that much processing power.
- DanWaterworth 13y agoProcessing power isn't measured in GHz.
- arbuge 13y agoQuite so. If only we could get processor cores to behave in this way, or nine women to work together on having a baby in 1 month...
- DanWaterworth 13y agoIndeed. Even if you did have a computer with a 12GHz clock, that doesn't give any indication of the performance that it can achieve.
