never really thought about this, i have an i7 950 @3.06ghz.
it never exeeds more than 8% on all cores or 25% on 1.
even though i used cubase and NI Massive and nuendo and all this fancy audio editing software, my pc never struggles. even arkham asylum never exeeds 20+ % on cores.

so it got me thinking. what is a 950 cabable of, what can it do. im not a techie and i LOVE learning something new and interesting. so tell me people, what is my processor capable of. what would make it struggle (inb4 prime 95 :P)

can we cure cancer on these chips or is that still upto supercomputers.

how long would it take to rip a bluray and encode to mkv ?

do i need a render farm to create a pixar like 3d animation anymore ?

also can some one describe MIPS and GFlops to me in a simplified way, i kinda gathered its a measurement of how many calcs a second it can do ?

whats the mips/gflops of an i7 950 stock. whats the mips/gflops of an i7 950 @ 4ghz ?
