eh, like the catchy title
uhg, anyways......
after all that marketing BS and fuss about gigaflops with the G4 and supercomputer status.... the G5 intro went without any gigaflop talk AT ALL.....
does anyone know how many gigaflops a dual 2Ghz G5 can do?

If I recall the original IBM White papers correctly the peak for a single 1.8Ghz processor was about 14.4 with sustained being 7+. However, GFLOPS, like MIPS, is a meaningless.

good question! It's probably not much higher than the G4, since it was always mostly a measure of AltiVec performance
Yeah, if it is just a measure of AltiVec performance then the numbers should probably be reasonably close to the Quicksilvers.

Actually, GFLOPS (millions of floating point operations per second) is quite meaningful, and we use it all the time to evaluate CPUs for possible use in our projects. A CPU capable of more floating point ops/second is more likely to be used by us.

Actually, if it is in fact a measure of Altivec, then it should be much higher than a G4 since it should scale linearly with clockspeed.
