I suppose that gigaflops only counts "floats" and not "doubles"... so this benchmark wouldn't really apply.

I was wondering about this because it seems as if the Pentium and AMD processors were finishing (per clock) about 50% slower than the G4 (400mhz G4 ?= 600mhz P3). If this were true, wouldn't the Pentium have been the first "desktop supercomputer"?
