FLOPS, or FLoating point Operations Per Second, are a measure of a computer's performance. In video games these operations are used to control the game's response to player input, Artificial Intelligence, and physics operations. One TFLOP is the equivalent of ten FLOPS raised to the twelfth power. This means that the PS3 performs 800,000,000,000 more FLOPS than the X-Box 360.
The RSX runs 50MHz above the ATI GPU, and performs more Shader Operations Per Second.
