Polaris can crank out a whopping 2 teraflops (that’s two trillion floating point calculations per second). It's really good at one type of thing - in this case, pushing out floating point calculations - but it can't perform the full range of functions you'd get with a regular CPU. You can't run Windows on it, for instance. That's why it's billed as a research chip. [link]
