FLOPS
Floating-point operations per second; a raw measure of compute power for GPUs and AI.
Also known as:
TFLOPS
GFLOPS
Gigaflops
GigaFLOPS
Full Definition & Technical Explanation
FLOPS (floating-point operations per second) measures raw compute. GPUs report FLOPS: ~2073.6 GFLOPS or 9.7-16.6 TFLOPS (trillions). Higher FLOPS generally means faster rendering and AI.
Real-world speed depends on architecture and drivers too. See FLOPS in GPU/SoC specs.
