supercomputer in China now outranks its US counterparts as the world\u2019s most powerful, which is the first time since 2017 that a Chinese computer has topped a list sometimes viewed as a measure of a nation&#8217;s technological prowess.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\"

loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The LineShine computer in Shenzhen, China, displaced top-ranked US computer El Capitan in the latest version of the TOP500 ranking announced Tuesday. It was the Chinese computer&#8217;s debut on the list.<\/p>\n<p>However, there were four European supercomputers in the top 10. Dropping to fifth place is the Jupiter supercomputer in Germany. <\/p>\n<p>Supercomputers are especially useful for researchers who want to collect and analyse data, as they can perform complex calculations much quicker, allowing them to address some of the world\u2019s most intricate problems, such as drug discovery, climate and weather forecasts, or modelling black holes. <\/p>\n<p>One of the most interesting use cases for the supercomputer is that it is key to developing models used in artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What makes China&#8217;s offering so special?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Scientists behind the TOP500 project said the LineShine computer at China\u2019s National Supercomputing Center achieved 2.198 exaflops, meaning it can perform more than 2 quintillion calculations per second.<\/p>\n<p>El Capitan, at the US government\u2019s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, now ranks second, ahead of two other US supercomputers at national laboratories in Tennessee and Illinois. The five are the only publicly verified exascale computers in the world.<\/p>\n<p>LineShine differs from other high-performance computers by running entirely on conventional computer chips, or CPUs, instead of the graphics processors, or GPUs, commonly used for artificial intelligence. It relies on approximately 42.2 megawatts of electricity to operate, according to TOP500.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, China\u2019s Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday defended the country\u2019s technological advancements as an opportunity for the world rather than a threat.<\/p>\n<p>Li also said the country\u2019s heavy state subsidies were not the main reason for the rapid rise of its high-tech industries, at a time when Western officials have complained that China\u2019s state support for industries from artificial intelligence to electric vehicles has provided an unfair competitive edge.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s No. 2 leader made the remarks in his speech at the opening plenary of the World Economic Forum\u2019s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, known as the \u201cSummer Davos,\u201d held this week in the northeastern Chinese coastal city of Dalian.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged there have been growing global concerns about China\u2019s technological innovations, with some pointing to the term \u201cChina Shock 2.0,\u201d as they see the nation&#8217;s high-tech boom as a threat to many advanced economies.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, that should be seen as \u201cChina Opportunity 2.0,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the global development perspective, \u2018China Opportunity 2.0\u2019 means there\u2019ll be broader access to advanced technologies and more widely shared benefits,\u201d Li said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where does Europe stand?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The five are the only publicly verified exascale computers in the world, which, though it sounds impressive, is actually just a measure of speed and how many operations per second the supercomputer can perform. <\/p>\n<p>Other countries with machines in the top 10 list include Italy, Switzerland, and Japan.

It was the Chinese computer&#8217;s debut on the list.However, there were four European supercomputers in the top 10. Dropping to fifth place is the Jupiter supercomputer in Germany.Supercomputers are especially useful for researchers who want to collect and analyse data, as they can perform complex calculations much quicker, allowing them to address some of the world\u2019s most intricate problems, such as drug discovery, climate and weather forecasts, or modelling black holes.\u00a0One of the most interesting use cases for the supercomputer is that it is key to developing models used in artificial intelligence (AI).What makes China&#8217;s offering so special?Scientists behind the TOP500 project said the LineShine computer at China\u2019s National Supercomputing Center achieved 2.198 exaflops, meaning it can perform more than 2 quintillion calculations per second.El Capitan, at the US government\u2019s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, now ranks second, ahead of two other US supercomputers at national laboratories in Tennessee and Illinois. The five are the only publicly verified exascale computers in the world.LineShine differs from other high-performance computers by running entirely on conventional computer chips, or CPUs, instead of the graphics processors, or GPUs, commonly used for artificial intelligence. It relies on approximately 42.2 megawatts of electricity to operate, according to TOP500.Meanwhile, China\u2019s Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday defended the country\u2019s technological advancements as an opportunity for the world rather than a threat.Li also said the country\u2019s heavy state subsidies were not the main reason for the rapid rise of its high-tech industries, at a time when Western officials have complained that China\u2019s state support for industries from artificial intelligence to electric vehicles has provided an unfair competitive edge.China\u2019s No. 2 leader made the remarks in his speech at the opening plenary of the World Economic Forum\u2019s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, known as the \u201cSummer Davos,\u201d held this week in the northeastern Chinese coastal city of Dalian.He acknowledged there have been growing global concerns about China\u2019s technological innovations, with some pointing to the term \u201cChina Shock 2.0,\u201d as they see the nation&#8217;s high-tech boom as a threat to many advanced economies.Instead, that should be seen as \u201cChina Opportunity 2.0,\u201d he said.\u201cFrom the global development perspective, \u2018China Opportunity 2.0\u2019 means there\u2019ll be broader access to advanced technologies and more widely shared benefits,\u201d Li said.Where does Europe stand?The five are the only publicly verified exascale computers in the world, which, though it sounds impressive, is actually just a measure of speed and how many operations per second the supercomputer can perform.\u00a0Other countries with machines in the top 10 list include Italy, Switzerland, and Japan. In the top 20, Spain, Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom made the list.Last year, the European Union unveiled a \u20ac20bn plan to build sites with supercomputers to develop the next generation of AI models with so-called AI gigafactories, which would link collaboration across supercomputing centres, universities and businesses.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2026\/06\/24\/worlds-fastest-supercomputer-is-now-from-china-surpassing-us-and-germany&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/81\/13\/91\/1200x675_cmsv2_ea9e4e0a-4f3c-580e-a0a0-84978fb075dd-9811391.jpg&#8221;] Tech News Zuckerberg wants Meta to launch its own prediction market, report says Health news \u2018No further delays\u2019: WHO chief urges leaders to act amid heatwave Health news Belgium under health alert as record-high heatwave hits the continent Earth News Flesh-eating bacteria threat looms over Europe&#8217;s coasts Tech News Zuckerberg wants Meta [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2008592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2008592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2008592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2008592\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2008592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2008592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2008592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
