My father was the lead in the team for CDC (control data corporation) cyber 205 and prior from 1976-mid 1980’s heading the team who programed and engineered the first ever 7-10 day weather forecast that didn’t take more than the time predicted to calculate and then the Cray (cray research) machines that held the record for fastest scientific computing from mid 1980s to about 1990 when he co-founded SSI (super computer systems inc) with Steve Chen and again held the record for fasted and most powerful super computer before the original was struck by lightning that jumped from the grounding rod and entered the facility destroying the prototype. To this day I have the cardboard punch cards that were necessary to do the multiplication table from 1-100 on the Cyber 205. This certainly brings up memories from my childhood through teenage years.

Saw the Cray-1 vs iPhone comparison... would be curious where today's iPhone fits in this list... 1990s worlds-fastest supercomputer?

A RTX 3090 is comparable with the NEC Earth simulator with 5120 cores from 2003. (Much less RAM though)

It would have been interesting to include their respective inflation-adjusted prices.

Nice, but I was looking for a list of the fastest PC, year by year...

Units of measurement are all over the place. Pick a set and apply it to all computers
