    My p7350 cpu has 12.8gflops and my 9600m gt gpu has 120gflops.
    amd:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units
    nvidia:
    Comparison of Nvidia graphics processing units - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Interesting info on gflops per watt as mine is 5.22 gflops per watt which is somewhat correct as if you multiply my 23w tdp it goes to 120.06gflops It looks like 500/800/1250 clock speeds are the sweetspot for 65nm as the 9800m gt with 256bit and same clocks have similar gflops per watt.

    I personally believe kepler is great if you add more unified shaders to it. The next revision should hopefully have more shaders and the performance per watt would look great.

    This website also tells you the gflops of your gpu as well. nVidia GeForce 9600M GT Video Card - Reviews, Specifications, and Pictures - GPUReview.com

    I know tdp on different architecture is not the best way to divide from your gflops of your gpu but it gives a rough idea of your gflops/watt.

    Intel burn test tells you the gflops of your cpu which you can get from here:
    Download IntelBurnTest 2.53 Free - Stress your computer to find out how stable it is - Softpedia

    I will be interested to know mainly what the cpu gflops is for people with the new ivy bridge cpus compared to maybe older sandy bridge or penryn cpu's etc. Of course there is a big variety of cpu's and if anyone runs the intel burn test please post your gflops. Do the standard test on it as well.

    Anyway please post any findings here mainly of your cpu gflops using intel burn test set to standard. I would be interested to know what an i5 3210m scores as I reckon thats what I am planning to get next in new laptop.

    Judging from the difference between a 675m and 680m gflops wise I wouldn't be suprised if nvidia release a 700m series add a few more unified shaders and release a 50w tdp gpu with same performance as a 675m. Kepler seems to do well with more unified shaders and because of fermi parts the low end gpu's were restricted.

    I am comparing single precision gflops.

    DP or SP gflops? Make sure you're comparing apples to apples. Also, SIMD heavy architectures (e.g. your Nvidia GPU) are going to have high peak gflops but in practice it's very hard to reach that number.

    Is mine single precision? I see amd have both single and double precision. I am comparing single precision as that is the norm.

    Depends on who you ask.
