Too bad there is not a program for the Prime equivalent to the LINPACK that tests FLOPS to compare it using Floating Point Operations.

Don't believe everything you read. The CPU in the Prime can at most and only under certain specific circumstances execute 1 instruction per cycle.

While that's the case for the Prime, it isn't the case for most desktop microprocessors these days. Most can execute more than one instruction per cycle. Try powering a handheld device with those, however. The battery life is terrible!
