It doesn't have a floating point processor so it would not do FLOPS very efficiently compared to modern machines.
In that era the power to performance ratio was not as critical since the clock speed of this device was typically sub 12MHz. (yes that is 12,000,000 Hz) Power losses are quite a bit less than at 1.2GHz
