If you equate a binary gate operation with an instruction, then that's 50 instructions per second, which compares to UNIVAC's 2000 IPS (0.002 MIPS).

Of course, an op on a single bit is still far short of a CPU instruction, AIUI.

You gotta start somewhere though!



So a cluster of modern cores could approach a UNIVAC...
