==Computing == Most microprocessors today can do 4 FLOPs per clock cycle. Therefore, a single-core 2.5 GHz processor has a theoretical performance of 10 billion FLOPS = 10 GFLOPS. Note: In this context, sockets is referring to chip sockets on a motherboard, in other words, how many computer chips are in use, with each chip having one or more cores...

a measure of computer speed, equal to the number of floating-point operations the computer can perform per second (used esp. in combination with mega-, giga-, tera-). Found on https://www.infoplease.com/dictionary/flops
