- >10 times the speed of fastest conventional computer available at the time
- >10 times the memory capacity of conventional computers available at the time
- only floating point arithmetic
- traditionally used ECL for fastest speed, but this dissipated lots of heat
- in the late 1970s and later multiprocessors
- in the late 1990s massively parallel supercomputers using many thousands of COTS microprocessors superseded earlier supercomputers using custom designed and built CPUs using individual logic gates
