haha, we all know stanford cant code for sh*t.
this is from their FAQ:
Why are the ATI x86 FLOP numbers half of the ATI native FLOP numbers?

Due to a difference in the implementation (in part due to hardware differences), the ATI code must do two force calculations where the x86, Cell, and NVIDIA hardware need only do one. This increases the overall native FLOP count for ATI hardware, but since these are not useful FLOPS in a sense, we did not include them in the x86 count.
besides this cuda with the new mimd architecture is going to add a huge speed up due to the fact mimd achieves maximum ipc.
