The Samsung S26 is very close to the GTX 970 in terms of teraflops, and if you use linear regression, the S32 should have the same teraflops as a GTX 1080 ti. Obviously, teraflops isn't the only metric, but it's a nice rough comparison. The S26 would reliably outperform my old PC that had a GTX 970.

Cool to watch computers get more and more powerful and efficient, and it's a bit of a shame that we're starting to see it really slow down now. #computing

A fact I love to say to everyone, is that the GPU's peak performance on the original iPhone released in 2007 is still more powerful than the computers inside the Artemis rockets, even if you combine the redundancy computers. So your phone (should be) faster than any computer used to get to the moon.

The iPhone's peak performance in fp32 operations is 1.6 Gigaflops, compared to just 0.285 gigaflops for Artemis's Orion VMC computer, or 1.14 Gigaflops of all four of them combined, as they are used to do the same computation for error checking.
