How many flops in Ipad2?

It Would Take 61 Million iPads 2s To Match The Power Of The World’s Best Supercomputer
HOW-MANY-FLOPS-IN-IPAD-2

The iPad 2 has some impres­sive mobile sil­i­con inside it. The A5 proces­sor is a dual-core affair with a 1GHZ clock speed, capa­ble of about 171 megaflops (or about 171 100 floating-point oper­a­tions per sec­ond).

Not bad, right? But how does the iPad 2 stack up against the most pow­er­ful com­put­er in the world, Fujit­su’s K Super Com­put­er?

Not too well, accord­ing to the guys at Royal Ping­dom. In fact, you would need about 61.5 mil­lion iPad 2s to match the 10 Bil­lion megaflops of the K Com­put­er.

That’s enough iPad 2s that if you stacked them on top of one anoth­er, the pile would be 540 kilo­me­ters high. That’s the equiv­a­lent of about 1,700 Eif­fel Tow­ers stacked end-to-end.

Well, sure. Fine. But can the K com­put­er run Infin­i­ty Blade 2? Thought not.
