Supercomputers typically process data one million times faster than top-tier laptops. Their speed is measured by the number of floating-point operations they can perform in one second. The TOP500 list published by the Association for Computing Machinery maintains a record of the 500 fastest supercomputers in the world. As of June 2026 the slowest supercomputer included on this list has been tested to perform at 2,661.46 tera floating-point operations per second (TFLOPS), whereas the fastest, Chinaβs LineShine system, performs at 2,198,400 TFLOPS.
