I'd like to compare the figure to the ENIAC from the > 1940s that could do 300/s. It's on the order of millions -- hence Mflops. I can't tell you what the current chips run (bet it's on an Intel website somewhere) but I can tell you that clock speeds of 200kHz were not uncommon. I forget when the 1MHz clock speed was broken, but it's in the lifetimes of some list members -- more that you might think!
