Is the Prime the fastest calculator ever made?

[cyrille de brébisson]

Hello,

It definitely has one of the fastest CPUs around.

Is it the fastest is a different question. The fastest doing what?

In raw number crunching, discarding user program management (such as when you do a large amtrix multiplication or inversion), it probably is the fastest.

In other applications, it might not be as fast because it's breath of possible options might cause some overhead that take away at the raw speed.
