Computing Power Evolution

The leap in computing power over the decades is staggering, with today's frontier supercomputer boasting a theoretical performance of 1.1 quintillion flops—about 10 quadrillion times more powerful than the Apollo guidance computer used for moon landings. While early computers like the Apollo guidance computer and the Apple One were limited to kiloflops, modern supercomputers utilize a network of smaller machines to tackle complex problems. This evolution showcases not only advancements in technology but also the exponential growth of computational capabilities.
