The dramatic performance boost comes as the semiconductor industry has largely shifted its focus away from pure performance measurements ... the chip, which operates at 4.7 gigahertz and cycles at a speed 25 million times as fast as the flap of hummingbird wings....

Hummingbird wings, eh? I guess that means that the more traditional, pure performance-based, "Rhino pulse rate" scale has been replaced?

RPH is still used to measure election cycles.
