Did you know that the iPad tablet sitting on your lap is as powerful as an 1985 - Quad CPU Cray 2 Supercomputer? Well.. looks like you do now, cause that madness is true... according to the "computer historians". Regardless, amazing.
"When they finish their project, though, Dr. Dongarra estimates that the iPad 2 will have a Linpack benchmark of between 1.5 and 1.65 gigaflops (billions of floating-point, or mathematical, operations per second). That would have insured that the iPad 2 could have stayed on the list of the world’s fastest supercomputers through 1994."
