single-precision

This architecture supports, on a block-by-block basis, various precisions per block, ranging from low resolution fixed point video up to single-precision floating point within a single DSP block, and even double-precision floating point with minimal external logic.

The flagship 9370 is a dual-slot PCIe card that beats NVIDIA's Fermi handily on single-precision FP (2.64 TFlops vs. 1.03 TFlops for Fermi), but bests Fermi by a much narrower margin on dual-precision with a score of 528 to 515 gigaflops.

With all of its cores working properly, the Cypress GPU can deliver 2.72 teraflops of single-precision and 544 gigaflops of double-precision floating point performance.

The first FireStream embedded GPUs, from October 2006, were glorified Radeon X19XX GPUs with only single-precision math.

While there are some workloads that can use single-precision just fine (some life sciences and oil and gas exploration apps are fine with single precision), most flop heads care about double-precision.

THe V8800 has 2.6 teraflops of single-precision math oomph.

The new Tesla M2050 embedded and fanless GPU co-processor from Nvidia, which just started shipping a month ago, is rated at the same 515 gigaflops of double-precision and 1.03 teraflops single-precision flops.

The Register 2010

The z6 cores included data compression and cryptographic units as well as decimal math units (for doing money math without having to round single-precision calculations).

Let's give SGI the benefit of the doubt and only look at single-precision math, which is fine for some workloads.

The Register 2010

The FireStream 9170s hit 500 single-precision gigaflops and added double-precision math - albeit substantially less than you might expect.
