Right, but that's not how CPUs, GPUs are rated. They are rated by their peak FLOPs, not on a specific benchmark. Large clusters or supercomputers may differ. That guy at the link seems confused - he says he's testing a E5-2687W in the specs, which is an Ivy Bridge part. So I'm not sure what...

Definitely, but of course that's a worst possible case example where every operand is used exactly once and must be read and written from memory. If you are just adding huge vectors of numbers you can do that so quickly that you definitely don't care about FLOPs. You could add together every...

Intel already has a > 1 TFLOP CPU, even without tricks like counting the GPU. E5-2699v3 = 18 Haswell cores Each core has 2 AVX2 floating point units, each capable of 1 FMA (two floating point ops) per cycle on a vector of 8 fp elements. Let's assume to no turbo at all and use the base...
