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.

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.
