Clock cycles no longer matter. You need to use floating point numbers. If he’s got an 8 core CPU running at a couple GHz

I’ve got an 8-core i7 running at 3.6 GHz.

I used it to do the math. 8*3.6 GHz = 28.8 GHz, or 0.0288 THz. That’s 576 times faster than 50 MHz.

576 << 200000.

And its throughput is nowhere near that good due to coordination overhead between the CPUs.
