I'm getting here > speed 1640kIPS on the old Nexus 7, don't you mean 8kkIPS?

(This value was the average while booting Linux)



psst, the SI prefix for 10^6 is M


You mean to say, 10^7 isn't KKK?


Absolutely so, yes. Thanks. :)

8 - 23 MIPS ain't so bad, right?


For reference, that's about as fast as a Motorola 68030 @50MHz [1] which was used in the AppleIIx, and while that was no slouch when it was released, you wouldn't want to run a modern development environment on such a machine either ;)

A little faster than an Arduino and a little slower than a PIC24. Not too bad.
