No - they're hundreds, perhaps thousands of times morepowerful ! Take the Sinclair ZX Spectrum from 1982 - it had a maximum on-board memory of 48 KB - even the smallest modern USB memory sticks (at 64MB) have at least 1000 times the memory of that early pioneer !

What computers are less powerful and cheaper than super computers?

Super computer's are generally reserved for government, organizations, and companies due to their high cost and non-practicality for normal everyday use. That being said any computer that you either buy from a store or build yourself will both be less powerful and cheaper then a super computer. Less powerful is in regards to computations speed.


Are minicomputers powerful?

Minicomputers, while less powerful than modern mainframes and supercomputers, were designed to handle a range of tasks and were quite powerful for their time, especially during the 1960s to 1980s. They offered multi-user capabilities and could support multiple applications simultaneously, making them suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. However, in today's context, they are generally considered less powerful compared to contemporary servers and personal computers. Their legacy remains in the foundational concepts of computing and multi-user environments.


Which is faster an analog computer or a digital computer?

built with the same level of technology, analog computers are always faster but less accurate than digital computers. however as little significant work on analog computers has been done since the 1980s, they currently significantly lag behind digital computers in speed.

What are the main characteristics of minicomputers?

Mini computers are large.They are expensive.They are powerful but not as much as main frame computers.They are used for scientific purposes.Number of users are less than of the main frames.


Moore's law is a rule that predicts what?

It preditcs that computers of the future will be more powerfull... and they will quickly become less expensive as newer more powerful computers will be built, This can be further explained by the following example: Your state of the art powerful rig (computer) will loose its value to less than its half in about 3-4 years time... i hope you get the picture and understand moore's prediction... best of luck!


Why mini computer are powerful than micro computer?

actually they aren't, the microcomputer effectively made the minicomputer obsolete by the late 1980s. microcomputers can now do anything minicomputers could faster for less cost in a smaller package.

Why do foreign countries not have computers?

Most countries have computers. So you can find them all around the world. Some countries may be less developed or be poorer or have very low populations, so they would have less computers than other countries.Most countries have computers.

Which one of the following would not be a personal computer?

Originally, the distinction was made between personal computers which were relatively smaller, less powerful machines used by individuals at their homes, and business computers used by big companies, which were larger and more powerful. As computing technology has advanced over the decades, personal computers are now much more powerful than the previous business computers used to be, and now most businesses use exactly the same kind of computers that individuals use. However, there are some businesses that still require more powerful computers than the personal computer. Banks, for example, have greater needs. There are also special computers used for scientific research.


What are the mainframe capabilities?

Early mainframe computers had less capability than the computer used in your car's keyfob to lock/unlock the doors, etc. Mainframe computers of the 1960s had less capability than the most basic handheld electronic calculators sold today. Modern mainframe computers are very powerful and usually have capabilities comparable to several dozen high end gaming desktop computers. The capabilities of any computer varies proportional to the state of the art for the engineering used at the time it was built.
