That has never been true, unfortunately. The 2005 top500 was led by bluegene/L achieving 280 FP64 TFlop/s.

Apple is talking about 17.5 FP16 TFlop/s on the iphone 17 neural engine. So 20 years later we are still nowhere near, not even at reduced precision.

That’s a factor of 10-20.

You can get an SoC that does 126 TOPs (strix halo) in tablet form factor, which is a factor of two. (I’ll count them as equivalent ops, since software couldn’t low precision floating point back then). So, not quite “pocket”, but probably “purse” and certainly backpack.

Because we’ve been able to spend more and more on the next miniaturization. That does not seem infinitely sustainable or even physically possible to sustain indefinitely.
