No single figure can be given, as this has varied widely over the years with changing technology (e.g. tube, transistor, IC, VLSI), architectural improvements, implementation (e.g. microcode vs. hardwired logic vs. programmable logic devices), etc.

∙ 10y agoA supercomputer is a computer that performs at or near the currently highest operational rate for computers. A supercomputer is typically used for scientific and engineering applications that must handle very large databases or do a great amount of computation (or both).
Technology is always improving so the speed of a supercomputer is always changing.
