HELP! How fast can the TMS320C6678 DSP run?

[gamalot]

 I was confused by the description of TMS320C6678, what's the meaning of 'enabling up to 10 GHz'? Does it mean 1.25Ghz times 8 is equal to 10GHz?

The TMS320C6678 Multicore Fixed and Floating Point Digital Signal Processor is based on TI's KeyStone multicore architecture. Integrated with eight C66x CorePac DSPs, each core runs at 1.0 to 1.25 GHz enabling up to 10 GHz. The device supports high-performance signal processing applications such as mission critical, medical imaging, test, and automation. The C6678 platform is power efficient and easy to use. The C66x CorePac DSP is fully backward compatible with all existing C6000 family of fixed and floating point DSPs.

It seems like each of the C66x cores can perform 16 floating point operations per cycle. So with 8 cores at 1.25GHz it can do 160 GFLOPS.

I imagine it would be very painful to code to that level of performance!
