Computers have long become an integral part of our life and their technical characteristics change as rapidly as the world around us. But at all times, scientists invent more and more powerful supermaths that can work miracles.

List of powerful computers

Depending on the tasks, computers are distinguished by updated video cards and processors, for modern gamers, a lightning speed of calculations necessary to perform any large-scale projects and the like.

Sunway Taihulight-Cherfire computer

The most modern, powerful computer, a real champion among its “brothers” in artificial intelligence is Sunway Taihulight (named after Lake Taikha) from China. And he has not lost his title since 2016, and this already says a lot.

It has performance, which is several thousand times more than that of very advanced home PCs - from 93 to 125 petaflops.
A car in the Chinese national computer center may seem like a fantastic invention to someone. It works on the unique Sunway Raise OS 2.0.5 operating system (a one-time use of resources is 75%) and is equipped with 40960 64-bit SW26010 processors with a frequency of 1.4 GHz with a total number of nuclei of 10.5 million; cache - 812.5 GB; RAM - 1310 terabyte.
Due to its outstanding abilities, the champion computer turned out, to put it mildly, not small and took more than 600 square meters of area, and electricity for work it needs 15270 kW.

This highly intellectual “baby” is working on mega calculations in all kinds of science and industry, paying for its champion value-$ 270 million.

The dream of advanced users of 2018

In 2018, top-list of cars with the prefix “Super” entitled three computers by Razer and Mainigear, Hyperpc and Apple -It was they who became the cherished, but quite expensive dream of advanced users, although they are undoubtedly inferior to the mega-computer presented above. Consider the technical characteristics of each of them declared by manufacturing companies.

R2 Razer Edition - A model that was born thanks to the cooperation of two IT giants: Mainagear and Razer. This amazing news on bang was perceived by gamers-enthusiasts in all corners of the planet, since the resulting PC is intended specifically for them, supports the reproduction of even virtual reality and video files with an expansion of 5k.
The computer was equipped with an Intel processor (frequency - 4.2 GHz, cache - 24 GB) on 18 cores; RAM 64 GB, represented on four slats; 12-gigabyte memory of the NVIDIA video processor; Two drives with solid -volume 2 thousand gigabytes.
Of course, this pleasure is worth it accordingly: the cheapest option (with very low basic characteristics) starts from $ 4 thousand and reaches $ 12 thousand. But such a purchase is guaranteed for several years without any modernization.

Concept 5 -Super machine of the Russian manufacturer Hyperpc. It turns out that domestic manufacturers can also please lovers of advanced IT-technologies!
According to the declared characteristics, the PC in the domestic assembly has a processor no worse than that of the above-based machine (I9-7980XE EXTREME Edition); two graphics cards of 11 GB; an excellent RAM for 128 gigabytes; two 10-a-a-a-a-aquater hard drives; a solid -state drive for one gig from Samsung; 1.5-kilowed power supply from Corsair Ax1500i; custom water cooling system.
If we compare this mega-compartment with the previous model, it becomes clear that in the domestic version there is more RAM, but the video file resolution is supported higher by R2 Razer Edition (5120 x 2880 pixels).
The price of this Russian miracle exceeded 1 million rubles.

Apple -A manufacturer who traditionally pleases his fans with the latest developments in the field of IT-industry.
The most productive monoblock with an apple to date is the IMAC PRO RETHA 5K Display Late 2017 monoblock, equipped with an Intel Xeon W processor with a frequency of 2.3 to 4.3 GHz; touch monitor (27 inches); 128 gigabit surgery DDR4-2666; the accumulator of solid -state (for 4 TB); 16-gigabit graphic card AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64.
The official price of the monoblock is $ 16 thousand.

Future winners of the ITRI

"Tianhe-3" -The mega-model machine, which, according to forecasts, should be created by Chinese inventors in two years. Of course, the developers are still silent for all its capabilities, but it is expected that he will be able to work at a speed of 1 exaflops.
Exflopsy computer - The joint brainchild of American manufacturers (IBM, Intel, AMD, HP, Cray and NVIDIA), the creation of which is announced in three years. It is known that its cost will exceed $ 250 million, and the possibilities will simply amaze the imagination.
