Hi, maybe you are talking about the difference between personal computer(computer) and server computer(supercomputer). Personal computer is usually used in playing games, doing assignments, browsing the internet that is not requiring a fast processor. while the so-called server computer it use for handling large data that requires a faster processor. which you can see in the big companies.

I don't know much about it. But, I think that super computer faster than computer. Because mostly, super computer uses for data center that hold many of data.

I don't know much about super computer as I had read in a newspaper that a Chinese made super computer can do a work in a minute which a PC can take mre than 100 years to complete the work. I get astonished.

Actually, you are correct on both counts. Supercomputers look different as they tend to take up whole rooms with all of their hardware, and those rooms are strictly climate controlled. Secondly they are very fast at solving complex problems; their data processing rates are very high. They achieve this by using multiple processors in a parallel type configuration so they work together on the same problem.
