The world's balance of computing has changed!

China...the sleeping dragon...is confirmed to have taken the top spot having the fastest computer on Earth! Previously the U.S. held this honor with its 1.75 petaflops per second speed (that's 1.75 thousand trillion calculations per second)! The new Chinese computer bests it quite decisively at 2.5 petaflops.
