Micro-computer mainframe computer super computer?

micro computer is also known as personal computer... this type of computer available in our home...mainframe computer is very large storage computer. they can store very large amount of data.super computer is used in weather forecasting, in research fields, seismic modeling, nuclear weapon design, aircraft design, etc. super computer can do calculations at least 10 times faster than fastest available regular computer........... this is typically very costly....... yesterday's supercomputer is often out performed by today's computer and therefore new super computers must be designed and built that are at least 10 times faster than today's computer.........super micro computers are the super computers of the micro computers. though often used by the same users that use super computers, their main users are game players. their realistic 3D rendered action games require far more processing power than an ordinary micro computer has, but they could never afford a mainframe or super computer nor could they fit one in their house. high end dedicated game consoles usually contain a dedicated super micro computer!
