AMD64 vs. a floating point operation (FLOP)

Hi,

Does anyone know how much of a floating point operation (FLOP) can a 3GHz
AMD64 CPU give?

When one is sold, we will let you know <wink>.

But, FWIW, my 2GHz mobile A64 gives 3200+MFLOPs (3,200,000,000+/- FLOPs,
3.2+ "GigaFLOPs") FPU, and 4100+MFLOPs(4,100,000,000+ FLOPs, 4.1+
"GigaFLOPs") iSSE2. Both measurements quoted from within a 32bit
invironment.

Not without some very extreme cooling on the exotic end of the scale....

Did U mean an AMD64 3200+ would not deliver a 3.2GFLOPS without a very
extreme cooling? The Emotion Chip on a Playstation2 that runs @300MHz only
requires a huge heatsink to deliver a whopping 6.02GFLOPS.

I must be special then. My 2GHz AMD64 3200+ with stock cooling in a notebook
gives over 3.2GFLOPS FPU and over 4.1GFLOPS iSSE2, which of course doesn't
mean anything unless you are using it to compare to processors with
identical instruction sets.

R those specs of 3200+ @ a bursting or sustaining rate?
