The combined computing power of **every ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 ever sold — over 22 million machines — is still 47,000 times weaker than a single NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU.
Those iconic 8-bit legends that shaped the childhoods (and careers) of millions delivered about 0.0022 TFLOPS of raw compute power — together. Meanwhile, the RTX 5090, built for today’s AI and graphics workloads, pushes 104.8 TFLOPS on its own.
What a time to be alive.

You have a valid point but I was purely interested in raw compute power. It was just a thought experiment that turned into a bit of research.
