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.
