Look at the VisionTek Press Release in the [H]ardNews 8th edition.
I claims that its "16 parallel pixel pipes and 6 vertex pipes churn out up to 200 GigaFLOPS per second"
Assuming that it starts at 0 GigaFLOPS, in 5 seconds it will be running at 1 TeraFlop. In an hour and a half, it will be running at more than 1 PetaFLOPS!
Seriously, can't a technology company get its technical terms correct? The PS in FLOPS stands for Per Second.
The same mistake was made at the end of Terminator 3.
