No single figure can be given, as this has varied widely over the years with changing technology (e.g. tube, transistor, IC, VLSI), architectural improvements, implementation (e.g. microcode vs. hardwired logic vs. programmable logic devices), etc.


The fastest and most expensive computer?

The fastest and most expensive computer would have to be a homemade computer. Not a brand you can buy all ready to go. Some homemade computers can cost a total of over $10,000 when fully modded.The fastest and most expensive computers are always the ones called Supercomputers. These currently compute in the petaFLOP rate and usually cost from $10,000,000 to $100,000,000. Some are commercially available, some are custom built to a contract.
