Does anyone know what our installed base of TOPS [Trillions of Operations Per Second] is?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blank faces, no guesses. Petersen continued: &#8220;Our installed base of TOPS should no longer be referred to as TOPS. It&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to call a ZOP. We have four ZOPS of install base, which is a Zetta OP, which is a trillion, million operations, or a billion TOPS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As to the question of how many of those AI PCs (and all those ZOPS) are being used for AI processing, Intel isn&#8217;t sure. Petersen made it clear that the tech giant doesn&#8217;t collect data on exactly how its chips are used, although had this to say on the subject:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ardsByvmhAEcnNi47u4oE7\" name=\"20260106_142844\" alt=\"A row of Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chips on a wooden table\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/intel-says-its-shipped-slightly-north-of-100-million-ai-pcs-which-equates-to-roughly-four-zops-or-zetta-ops-of-ai-processing-power.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"2268\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;I do think that&#8217;s the critical question&#8230; you&#8217;ve got all these ZOPS out there, are they useful yet?
