Bitcoin is currently 170 exahashes per second, or 170 x 10^18.

The latest and greatest Intel i7 can do maybe 30 mh/s.

You would need more than all cpus produced in history. I can believe G7 secretly having a third of total known CPU compute.

I can't believe G7 secretly having multiples of all known CPU compute.
