the processing unit and sends out
results using output devices.
Computers are classified into four (4) different types based onits
processing power and size:
COMPUTER TYPES

Supercomputer

Supercomputers are the fastest

and most powerful computer in
terms of performance and data
processing.
Used in:

• Nuclear weapon testing
COMPUTER TYPES

Mainframe computer

Mainframe computers are not as

powerful as the supercomputer. It is
designed to run multiple programs
concurrently. It is commonly usedin:
