This board should deliver about 90 GFLOPS of performance, or — in terms
PC users understand — about the same horse-power as a 45GHz CPU.
That doesn't seem too outrageous to me.
Edit: They state the real fact and then give another figure explicitly stating it's an attempt to translate this into a metric the average user can somewhat relate to.
Second edit: I was under the impression that this was the result of dumbing down by a journalist, however it seems it's from Parallela itself. That is a bit disingenuous indeed.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS#Computing it seems that they're off by a factor of two, but I'm guessing that's just an honest mistake.
