3 GFLOP/sec sounds like a lot but it's considerably less math than the radio DSPs inside any modern phone's baseband is doing during a phone call.

I don't know much about phone tech, are the basebands really doing math or just instrumenting? My assumption would be that there is just some sensor writing to a buffer at a high frequency but that whatever processes that buffer operates at a lower frequency.

Your question is hard to parse? What is instrumenting? If it helps though... the word “baseband” itself is the lower frequency containing just the bandwidth of the signal. Ie that is the lower frequency...

True but here I intended "baseband" to mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseband_processor
