Well then what if your next pc comes with a cpu with its cache disabled? or perhaps a video card, lets say 8800gt with its hd video accel disabled? whould you be happy?
no??
why? not every vendor advertises explicitly the features of the components of their products, but you, and me and everyone expects them when we buy them. Because an "Intel q6600 inside" sticker or "Cpu : intel q6600" line on the specsheet directly implies that it has EVERYTHING the INTEL Q6600 Specs have, inclusive. When i advertise that it uses a msm7500 chipset i imply that it has hardware video accel, because it is right there on the specsheet of the chipset, otherwise one must advertise that it uses the msm7500 with the video accel DISABLED. And sell it as "celeron" msm7500 if it rings you any bells..
you don't need a ton of memory to store mathematical data to be computed.. you need a ton of processing power, and a highly customized and optimized combination of hardware and software. other than that, all you need to do is load the program data, and math data onto the local (on card) memory, instruct it to begin computing, and play tetris really fast until it's done..
>>i probably did the math wrong, but isnt 2 petaflops 2000 ghz?
well you could say that a system that can do 1 flop / cycle should be 2.000.000 Ghz , or a system that can do 4.000.000 flop / cycle should be 500Mhz (as in the grape DR :D). ain't math grate :D :D
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
