    I’ll help with a layman explanation in addition to what op already defined.

    Teraflops is a measure of raw compute power often used to measure GPUs(but isn’t really accurate to use to compare 2 different kinds, but that’s a whole nother conversation). Exaflops are a million times more than teraflops.

      Right, but flops is floating point operations per second. Adding another /s makes it acceleration.

        Where is the other s?

        Edit: I’m not very observant. I was reading too fast and saw “ac…” and my brain filled it in as “actually”.
