Yes, it works out to a ton of power and money, but on the other hand, 2x the computation could be like a few percent better in results. so it's often a thing of orders of magnitude, because that's what is needed for a sufficiently noticeable difference in use.
basing things on theoretical tops is also not particularly equivalent to performance in actual use, it just gives a very general idea of a perfect workload.
