Google claims it’s created the most powerful computer of all time

[Daniel]

Google has claimed it's achieved "quantum supremacy" with the development of a supercomputer it says accomplished in minutes what would have taken the most powerful computers in the world 10,000 years.

Does this mean we can all pack up our computers and find another hobby ?

Maybe not ...

But not everyone agrees with the findings.
Rival computing company IBM has disputed several of the claims in Google's study.
Chief among them is the time it would take a classical computer to achieve the same task Google's quantum processor was programmed to.
IBM said earlier this week the task would take the Summit supercomputer at Tennessee's Oak Ridge National Laboratory two-and-a-half days at the most.

Google is headquartered in Mt. View, California. They must be running it on an extension cord from Nevada.
