My point is simply that the "number", as you say, is virtually meaningless without knowing to what it refers, so there is no point to it in isolation. I thought the example of "peak FLOPs" vs "enterprise benchmarks" was a nice illustration of the issue, as well as the "top speed" vs "mileage" car analogy.

Yet the AMD fans get so angry at a perfectly reasonable question.
