Meh that's nothing. Botnets back in 2011 and 2012 were making more than what 650GH/s can do today 
Still, 650GH/s is an insane amount for a single computer. Wonder how much power it uses though...

Inefficient, yes probably. But when you are not the one who is paying for energy it does not matter for you if this is efficient. It pains me that other computers can be used that way and will never know.
According to this article:
http://tradeblock.com/research/bitcoin-network-8-times-faster-than-top-500-super-computers-combined/
1 Hash equals 12.7kiloflops,
So, if they were using the most powerful supercomputer in the country at the time at 8.2 Petaflops, my math says 645 GH/s.
Not bad, but terribly inefficient :-P

I came across this article this morning on the BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27779030
I wonder what kind of hashrates this guy was getting. If they were anywhere near competing with asics.
