Return to the top: China’s LineShine beats US El Capitan in Top500 supercomputer rankings
China's new LineShine supercomputer has reclaimed the world's fastest title, achieving 2.198 exaflops of performance. It is notable for being the first exascale system to rely entirely on CPUs rather than GPUs.
Why it matters
This achievement demonstrates China's ability to advance high-performance computing capabilities despite ongoing US export restrictions on advanced semiconductor technology.
Built in Shenzhen, it regained the world’s fastest supercomputer crown for China since Sunway TaihuLight’s achievement in 2017
