It boasted a world-record speed of 160 million floating-point operations per second (160 megaflops) and an 8 MB (1 million word) main memory. The architecture of the Cray-1 system reflected its designer's penchant for bridging technical hurdles with revolutionary ideas. In order to increase the speed of this system, it was built with a unique "C" shape so the integrated circuits could be placed closer together. No wire in the system was more than four feet long. To handle the intense heat the computer generated, Cray developed an innovative refrigeration system using Freon." How many megaflops in a BlackBerry Z10? I didn't find an answer, but I did find this: http://www.walkingrandomly.com/?p=3079 which indicated that my Galaxy S3 is good for 70Mflops to around 1 Gflop, depending on what test, and how it's run. -- OK Don NSA: The only branch of government that actually listens to US citizens!
