Was looking for a chart giving an average FLOPS per CPU, and found this one on Wiki:
Just... wow that's a lot of FLOPS to flip.
I did eventually find a chart of FLOPS by CPU:
10,222.58 MFlops Intel Core i5 750 (4105MHz)
9,252.76 MFlops Intel Core i5 750 (3675MHz)
7,841.57 MFlops Intel Core i5 750 (3161MHz)
7,525.77 MFlops AMD Phenom II X4 940 (4258MHz)
It seems to me that P2 X4 overclocked to 4.25GHz is doing close to i5 750 clocked to 3.2GHz. (I couldn't find Athlon X4 FLOPS rating) And since i5 750 can easily overclock to 4GHz+, it almost looks like it'd be worth tossing an extra $100 to get i5 750 instead of AMD X4 for my second PC. The same chart showing i7 920 clocked to 4GHz has about slightly more FLOPS as i5 750 so it looks like BOINC does not benefit from hyperhtreading, only from tri-channel RAM.
Does that sound about right?
* Folding@Home, as of March 11, 2010, is sustaining 3.874 PFLOPS [1], the first computing project of any kind to cross the 1,2,3,4 and 5 petaFLOPS milestone. This level of performance is primarily enabled by the cumulative effort of a vast array of PlayStation 3 and powerful GPU units.[2]
* The entire BOINC project averages over 4.725 PFLOPS as of Mar 11th 2010[3].
* Milkyway@Home averages over 1.551 PFLOPS as of Mar 11th 2010[4]. A press release reported that MilkyWay@Home surpassed the 1 Peta Flop barrier (1.009PFlops) on Jan 26th 2010.[5]
* SETI@Home computes data at an average of more than 827 TFLOPS[6] as of Mar 4th 2010
* Einstein@Home is crunching more than 238 TFLOPS[7] as of Nov 1st, 2009
* As of Nov, 20th 2009[update], GIMPS is sustaining 44.3 TFLOPS.[8]
