@radha: Your post was going well until you said this:

Flops it the real measure for processors

No, it's only one of the important measures, and it's usually used as an indicator of peak performance. Real-world performance (as in most things other than benchmarks) is not always indicated by peak performance.

Please explain because i want to know if is not calculations (computations), what is more important in a processor?

EDit: processor alone not the overal system.

 

There are other very important things like cache size (doesn't necessarily affect the FLOPS), integer performance, branch/pipeline performance.
