The main bottleneck is memory/storage capacity, not speed. Beyond that (if you have the requisite storage capacity and bandwidth), yes: if you have half the FLOPS and double the time, you get the same result.

Is this the case? I thought that parallel speedup is not linear. so it might actually not be 2x slower but maybe 1.5x or something depending on IPC overhead and all that
