Also the supercomputer likely had a substantial ammount of solid state & fast spinning storage, even back then. Thats also often overlooked in these comparisons, not just the difference in precission.
- pixl97 7y agoA single 80mm nvme ssd would likely be faster than a significant amount of that supercomputers storage. In 2000 a million IOPS was a lofty target. Now we can do it on a single device.
