A computer CPU is appliable to speed scaling?

I have one question

In Danball Senki, its revealed in episode 17 that Methanus GX, a ultra CPU chip, works at speeds of zettaflops. In other words, its processing speed can do 10^21 calcs per second. It also says in episode 18 that it's AT LEAST 200 times faster than a regular LBX CPU chip, meaning 5*10^18 calcs per second.

With that in mind, it can be assumed the LBX has at least MFTL+ perception or reaction speed? I have my doubts on that...

No, because computers generally do calculations in parallel, not just in sequence.
If 9 mothers can birth 9 babies in 9 month, that doesn't mean that 9 mothers could birth 1 baby in 1 month.

The amounts of calculations per second ultimately tells you little about the minimal time needed to perform one meaningful process.

But i still can get anywhere with that? Like, use this to classify their speed somehow?

 

[DontTalkDT]

Not really. In theory one of their calculations could take one second and they just do a whole lot at once.
One would also have to know how many calculations (in sequence) are needed to do what for a human would be "one perception" or "one reaction". That are things which need more than adding two numbers to happen, after all.
So beyond maybe saying that they're at least as good as modern computers you won't get much.

I understand... Thank you!
