The 68882 speed scales linear to the FPU clock.

"Flops" is meaningless in measuring FPU speed anyway. Use SPECfp.

You could aswell just use the MHz value directly.

Anyway, "flops" is no real benchmark, it typically benchmarks fadd in loop or so, hardly gives any real indication of the FPU performance (which SPECfp does).
